What is Divide and Conquer Algorithm?
Divide and Conquer is a problem-solving technique that involves breaking a larger problem into subproblems, solving the subproblems independently and combining the solutions of those subproblems to get the solution of the larger problem.
Divide and Conquer Algorithm
Divide and Conquer algorithm is a problem-solving strategy that involves breaking down a complex problem into smaller, more manageable parts, solving each part individually, and then combining the solutions to solve the original problem. It is a widely used algorithmic technique in computer science and mathematics.
Example: In the Merge Sort algorithm, the “Divide and Conquer” strategy is used to sort a list of elements. Below image illustrate the dividing and merging states to sort the array using Merge Sort.
