Hello Codeforces!↵
↵
This series of videos are focused on explaining dynamic programming by illustrating the application of digit DP through the use of selected problems from platforms like Codeforces, Codechef, SPOJ, CSES and Atcoder. ↵
↵
After going through this series, you should find yourself confident in solving problems which require the use of digit dp and also implementing them in a reasonable amount of time.↵
↵
I will also live code and submit the solutions to the problem on the coding platform from where the problem comes.↵
↵

3. Types of DP problems.<br>↵
↵
Part 2: [https://youtu.be/yfgKw6BUZUk](https://youtu.be/yfgKw6BUZUk)<br>↵
1. What is a DP-state?<br>↵
2. Characterizing a DP-state.<br>↵
3. What is a recurrence?<br>↵
4. Top Down v/s Bottom Up.<br>↵

Introduction to Digit DP↵
------------------↵
↵
I discuss the following concepts in this video:↵
↵
1. What exactly is Digit DP?<br>↵
2. What are the types of problems I can solve with Digit DP?<br>↵
3. Discussing a sample problem and it's brute force solution.<br>↵
4. Building up an intuition towards a DP based solution.<br>↵
5. Further discussing another concept required for solving Digit DP problems.<br>↵
6. Coding the solution which we came up with.↵
