Divide and Conquer

Understand the divide and conquer paradigm, which breaks problems into smaller subproblems, solves them recursively, and merges solutions. Learn how this method helps simplify complex algorithmic tasks and when it might face performance challenges due to recursion overhead.

Divide and conquer method

Divide and conquer is an algorithmic paradigm in which the problem is repeatedly divided into subproblems until we reach a point where each problem is similar and atomic, i.e., can’t be further divided.

At this point, we can start solving these atomic problems and combining ...
