Divide and Conquer

Understand how to apply the divide and conquer algorithmic paradigm in C# by dividing problems into smaller atomic parts, solving them recursively, and merging results to form an optimal solution. Learn the advantages, such as memory efficiency, and limitations like recursion overhead, to use this approach effectively in coding interviews.

The divide and conquer method

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

Atomic problem

Let’s solve a problem in which we have a list of uppercase and lowercase alphabets and need to convert them all into lowercase.

In this problem, we will start solving these atomic problems and combining (merging) the ...
