Greedy Algorithms

Greedy algorithms construct a solution by always taking the locally best choice and never reconsidering. They are fast and simple, yet correct only when a greedy choice is provably globally optimal, which you back with an exchange argument. Applied-AI interviews test greedy because the screen is whether you can separate when it works (interval scheduling, Huffman) from when it quietly returns a wrong answer, and whether you switch to DP instead.
