Flowchart showing dynamic programming memoization checking base case, verifying memo table cache, computing subproblems, and saving state.

What it shows

  • Inspect the memo cache before performing expensive recursive branches.
  • Return base cases immediately to prevent unbounded stack expansion.
  • Write subproblem results to cache once and share them across branches.

The takeaway

Memoization trades bounded cache memory for exponential time savings by caching subproblem solutions.
