Chapter 13, Problem 5D
Program Plan Intro
Divide and conquer
- Divide and conquer algorithm works recursively by breaking down into two or more sub problems of same or related type.
- It continues to break down into sub problems until it become easy to solve directly.
- The solutions of sub problems are combined to form the solution for the original problem.
