Greedy Algorithms
Sign in to add this module to your path and practice.
About
Greedy choice property and optimal substructure. Proof techniques (greedy stays ahead, exchange arguments). Interval scheduling/partitioning, Huffman coding (optional), Dijkstra’s shortest paths, and MST (Kruskal/Prim + Union-Find).
Goal
Identify when a greedy approach is correct; prove optimality via exchange or stays-ahead arguments; implement and analyze Dijkstra and MST algorithms; and select appropriate data structures (priority queues, Union-Find).
Prerequisites
