Sample Question 1
Which approach to dynamic programming stores results in a dictionary or hash map keyed by subproblem state?

Memoization

Tabulation

Greedy algorithm

Branch and bound

Sample Question 2
Tabulation uses a bottom-up approach, building solutions from smaller subproblems to larger ones. What data structure is typically used?

Hash map

Array or table

Linked list

Priority queue

Sample Question 3
In memoization, when a subproblem is encountered again, what happens instead of recomputing it?

The cached result is returned immediately

It is recomputed from scratch

The function returns null

A new table entry is created
