How does memoization improve the efficiency of the recursive solution for Levenshtein distance?
It avoids redundant calculations by storing and reusing previously computed distances.
It sorts the input strings to speed up comparisons.
It converts the recursive solution into an iterative one.
It reduces the depth of the recursion tree.
What is the primary advantage of using dynamic programming (tabulation) over a purely recursive approach for the Fibonacci sequence?
Improved code readability
Faster execution for smaller inputs
Reduced memory usage
Elimination of redundant calculations
In the tabulated solution for the 0/1 Knapsack problem, what does each cell in the table typically represent?
The value of the current item being considered.
The weight of the current item being considered.
Whether or not the current item is included in the optimal solution.
The maximum value achievable with a given subset of items and a given knapsack capacity.
In the context of edit distance, what does a diagonal transition in the dynamic programming table represent?
Matching of two characters
Substitution of a character
Deletion of a character
Insertion of a character
How does the space complexity of the memoized Fibonacci solution compare to the tabulated solution?
Both have the same space complexity.
Tabulated solution has higher space complexity.
The space complexity depends on the value of n.
Memoized solution has higher space complexity.
In a bottom-up tabulated solution for LIS, what does the table typically store?
The length of the LIS ending at each index.
The indices of elements in the LIS.
Boolean values indicating if an element is part of the LIS.
The sum of elements in the LIS ending at each index.
In the memoized solution to the Coin Change problem, what parameters are typically used to memoize the results?
The maximum coin denomination and the target amount.
The total number of coins used and the current amount formed.
The current index of the coin denomination and the remaining amount to be formed.
The minimum number of coins used so far and the remaining coin denominations.
In the dynamic programming table for Levenshtein distance, what does the cell at index (i, j) typically represent?
The number of deletions required to transform the first string into the second string.
The number of insertions required to transform the first string into the second string.
The edit distance between the first i characters of the first string and the first j characters of the second string.
Whether the first i characters of the first string are identical to the first j characters of the second string.
Why is the Coin Change problem considered a variation of the unbounded knapsack problem?
Both problems have the same time complexity.
You can take multiple instances of the same coin denomination.
The solution always involves using all available coin denominations.
The order in which you select the coins doesn't matter.
What is the role of the coin denominations in the Coin Change problem?
They influence the order in which subproblems are solved.
They are not essential to the problem definition.
They represent the values of the items you can choose from.
They determine the maximum capacity of the knapsack.
