Dynamic Programming

Dynamic programming solves problems that have overlapping subproblems and optimal substructure by defining a state, writing a recurrence, and caching results so each subproblem is computed once. The skill is the framework (state, recurrence, base case, order of evaluation), not memorizing tricks. Applied-AI interviews probe it because it screens for whether you can turn a fuzzy optimization into a precise recurrence rather than recognizing a pattern you saw before.
