📖 LESSON

Divide & Conquer

Divide and Conquer is an algorithm design paradigm based on multi-branched recursion. It's the basis for Merge Sort, Quick Sort, and Binary Search.

Divide

Break the problem into smaller subproblems.

Conquer

Solve subproblems recursively (or directly if small).

Combine

Merge subproblem solutions to solve the original.

💡 Efficiency Boost

By breaking a problem of size N into smaller parts, you can often reduce a complexity of **O(N²)** down to **O(N log N)**.
