🏷️ Labels: Dynamic Programming, Algorithm, Latex, Code Translation
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal: The session aimed to explore and develop dynamic programming solutions for two classic algorithmic problems: the rod cutting problem and the box stacking problem.

Key Activities:

• Developed a dynamic programming solution for the rod cutting problem, detailing both recursive and bottom-up approaches, including cost minimization strategies and complexity analysis.
• Translated C++ code to Python, focusing on syntax differences and key programming concepts.
• Explored LaTeX typesetting techniques for document formatting, specifically focusing on indentation in itemize and enumerate environments.
• Investigated a backtracking algorithm for the box stacking problem, and proposed enhancements using dynamic programming techniques.

Achievements:

• Successfully formulated and executed dynamic programming solutions for both the rod cutting and box stacking problems.
• Completed code translation from C++ to Python, enhancing cross-language understanding.
• Improved LaTeX document formatting skills, particularly in handling indentation.

Pending Tasks:

• Further optimization of the box stacking solution to improve efficiency.
• Explore additional LaTeX packages for advanced document formatting.
