Introduction to Greedy Algorithms
Explore the fundamentals of greedy algorithms, including their components and applications in optimization problems. Understand how these algorithms make decisions step-by-step to optimize objective functions and where their limitations lie compared to other methods.
Greedy Algorithm
As the name suggests, a Greedy Algorithm always makes the choice that seems to be the best at that moment. This means that it makes a locally optimal choice in the hope that this choice will lead to a globally optimal solution.
How to decide which choice is optimal?
This algorithmic designing technique is mainly used to solve optimization problems. In ...
