Study guide
In this lab you implement and analyse two classic problems: the 0/1 knapsack using both a greedy approach and dynamic programming, and matrix chain multiplication with its complexity analysis. Comparing the greedy and DP answers on the same input shows why the 0/1 version needs dynamic programming. Print the DP table for a small example to verify your logic.
Why Design and Analysis of Algorithm Laboratory Matters
Implementing an algorithm and measuring its complexity connects theory to practice and is excellent interview preparation.
How to Prepare for Design and Analysis of Algorithm Laboratory
- Test your knapsack code with inputs where greedy gives a wrong answer.
- Print intermediate DP tables while debugging.
- Be ready to explain the time and space complexity of both approaches.
