By Hazemzz, history, 8 years ago, In English

i always have a problem with all greedy problem that is not easy to see its optimal choice ?

some times i get an intuition but i am not sure it works 100% how would i improve my proving skills for greedy .would i try my intuition with code and check if it will get a WA or not ? some tips from you please .

Code your greedy, code a naive working code, test if for a lot of random (small) inputs. Check if your greedy code is working fine. It reduces the chance of getting WA.

      It's usually easier to just test the greedy code than to actually prove it.
