- 15.01Dynamic Programming Foundations: Overlapping Subproblems & Optimal Substructure4 min
Demystify Dynamic Programming. Master the two core prerequisites: Overlapping Subproblems and Optimal Substructure. Contrast Top-Down Memoization with Bottom-Up Tabulation.
- 15.02The 0/1 Knapsack Problem & 2D Grid Dynamic Programming4 min
Master 2D dynamic programming patterns. Solve 0/1 Knapsack, optimize space to a single 1D row, and solve Longest Common Subsequence (LCS).
- 15.03Two-Dimensional Dynamic Programming: Longest Common Subsequence and Edit Distance4 min
Formulate 2D dynamic programming recurrence relations, table state transitions, and space-optimization techniques for Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) and Levenshtein Edit Distance.
- 15.04Capstone Project 5: High-Throughput Distributed Task OrchestratorProject4 min
Engineer an enterprise-grade distributed task orchestration engine. Leverage Java 21 Virtual Threads, Structured Concurrency, DAG dependency resolution, and priority scheduling.
