Question 5.
Design an algorithm using memoization to compute the nth Fibonacci number. Explain the time and space complexity of your solution.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on how you can minimize repeated work.
Question 6.
Critically analyze a classic recursive problem, such as calculating combinations or permutations, and redesign it using memoization. What is the expected improvement in performance?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the nature of the calculations involved and how storing results aids efficiency.
