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.
