    Dynamic Programming (DP) is an optimization technique used to solve problems by breaking them into smaller overlapping subproblems. It is particularly effective for problems that exhibit optimal substructure and overlapping subproblems. Instead of solving the same subproblem multiple times, DP stores the results of these subproblems to avoid redundant computations, significantly improving efficiency.

    Key Concepts

    Dynamic Programming can be implemented in two main ways:

    1. Top-Down Approach (Memoization): This involves solving the problem recursively and storing the results of subproblems in a lookup table (or cache). If a subproblem is encountered again, its result is fetched from the cache instead of recomputing it. For example, calculating Fibonacci numbers recursively with memoization reduces the time complexity from O(2^n) to O(n).

    2. Bottom-Up Approach (Tabulation): This involves solving the subproblems iteratively, starting from the smallest subproblems and building up to the solution of the original problem. This approach often uses arrays to store intermediate results and avoids recursion.
