A school is creating class schedules for its students. The students submit their requested courses and then a program will be designed to find the optimal schedule for all students. The school has determined that finding the absolute best schedule cannot be solved in a reasonable time. Instead they have decided to use a simpler algorithm that produces a good but non-optimal schedule in a more reasonable amount of time. Which principle does this decision best demonstrate?

Introduction to Greedy Algorithm

A greedy algorithm is a problem-solving method that makes the locally optimal selection at every stage to reach a globally optimal solution. It solves a problem in two stages: Scanning the list of items and Optimization. However, in most problems, the greedy algorithm fails to provide a globally optimal solution.
