In this, we store the result of the sub-problem that is solved once for future re-use. The technique of storing sub-problem solutions is called memoization. There are two key attributes that problems have in order for it to be solved using Dynamic Programming. If these two attributes are there, then we can use two techniques memoization and tabulation that both have the purpose of storing and re-using sub-problems solutions that may drastically improve performance.
The dynamic programming approach is an extension of the divide-and-conquer problem. It extends Divide-and-Conquer problems with two techniques memorization and tabulation that stores the solutions of sub-problems and re-use whenever necessary. Problem Description: Find nth Fibonacci Number.
Any term in Fibonacci is the sum of the preceding two numbers. We will discuss two approaches. In this, we divide it down to two subproblems to calculate n-1 th and n-2 th Fibonacci numbers and now we add combine these results to get our nth Fibonacci number.

From the recurrence relation, obviously there are too many repeating values. It's better to memorize these values rather than calculating over and over again.
Most important thing in dp is memorizing these calculated values. If you look at dp problems generally an array or a matrix is used for preventing repetitive calculations.
Specifically, when you found that your subproblems need to share some calculations of same smaller subproblem, you may not want them to calculate the same things again and again, you cache the intermediate results to speed up time, that comes the DP.

So why do we still have different paradigm names then and why I called dynamic programming an extension. It is because dynamic programming approach may be applied to the problem only if the problem has certain restrictions or prerequisites. And after that dynamic programming extends divide and conquer approach with memoization or tabulation technique. Dynamic Programming Extension for Divide and Conquer Dynamic programming approach extends divide and conquer approach with two techniques memoization and tabulation that both have a purpose of storing and re-using sub-problems solutions that may drastically improve performance.
Memoization top-down cache filling refers to the technique of caching and reusing previously computed results. Computing the values in the cache is easiest done iteratively. Divide and Conquer Example: Binary Search Binary search algorithm, also known as half-interval search, is a search algorithm that finds the position of a target value within a sorted array.
Binary search compares the target value to the middle element of the array; if they are unequal, the half in which the target cannot lie is eliminated and the search continues on the remaining half until the target value is found.
If the search ends with the remaining half being empty, the target is not in the array. Example Here is a visualization of the binary search algorithm where 4 is the target value. Binary search algorithm decision tree You may clearly see here a divide and conquer principle of solving the problem.
Can we apply dynamic programming to it?
