Chapter 22.8, Problem 22.8.1CP

Explanation of Solution

Divide and conquer algorithm:

  • This is the algorithm that works recursively by breaking down the larger problem into two or more sub problems of the same or related type.
  • This can be divided until the problems are simple to solve it directly. Finally, all those sub problems are combined together to form the solution for original problem.

Example for divide and conquer algorithm:

  • The best example for the divide and conquer algorithm is sorting problems such as quick sort, merge sort, and the closest pair of points...
