Counting Bits

Counting Bits is about turning repeated work into a reusable state instead of re-solving subproblems. It's a great warm-up that builds state-and-transition thinking without a ton of moving parts. The trap is picking a state that's too vague; keep it minimal and consistent.

Dynamic Programming Patterns

Dynamic programming caches overlapping subproblem results so each is solved only once. Define your state in one sentence, write the transition, nail the base cases, and brute-force transforms into polynomial time.
