Backtracking

Explore the backtracking method to solve problems recursively by breaking them into smaller parts and eliminating non-contributing paths. Understand recursion, its base case, and how to implement backtracking through examples like factorial calculation. Gain insights into applying backtracking to complex algorithm challenges such as the Knight-Tour and Sudoku solver, preparing you for data science and algorithm interviews.

We'll cover the following...

Backtracking is an approach for recursively solving a problem. Backtracking does this by solving small pieces one by one and removing the parts that do not contribute to the solution.

This is a recursive approach. When a function calls itself, it is called recursion, which ...

Base case of recursion:

Every ...
