Greedy Algorithms Questions
The Maximum Number of Cuts problem is a problem where we are given a rope of length 'n' and we need to find the maximum number of cuts that can be made on the rope such that each cut is of length 'm'.
To solve this problem using a greedy algorithm, we can follow these steps:
1. Initialize a variable 'cuts' to 0, which will keep track of the number of cuts made.
2. While the length of the rope is greater than or equal to 'm', perform the following steps:
a. Make a cut of length 'm' on the rope.
b. Increment the 'cuts' variable by 1.
c. Reduce the length of the rope by 'm'.
3. Return the value of 'cuts' as the maximum number of cuts that can be made on the rope.
The greedy approach here is to always make the cut of length 'm' as long as it is possible. This ensures that we make the maximum number of cuts on the rope.
