= Divide-and-conquer algorithms
{wiki=Category:Divide-and-conquer_algorithms}
Divide-and-conquer is an algorithm design paradigm that involves breaking a problem down into smaller subproblems, solving each of those subproblems independently, and then combining their solutions to solve the original problem. This approach is particularly effective for problems that can be naturally divided into similar smaller problems. \#\#\# Key Steps in Divide-and-Conquer: 1. **Divide**: Split the original problem into a number of smaller subproblems that are usually of the same type as the original problem.
