Divide-and-conquer algorithms are a class of algorithms that solve problems by breaking them down into smaller subproblems, solving each subproblem independently, and then combining the results to form a solution to the original problem. This method is especially effective in computational aspects and algorithmic Ramsey Theory, where complex problems can often be simplified into more manageable parts.
congrats on reading the definition of divide-and-conquer algorithms. now let's actually learn it.
