Dynamic programming is an algorithmic technique for solving complex problems by breaking them into overlapping subproblems, solving each subproblem once, and storing the results to avoid redundant computation. Software engineers and computer science students use it to efficiently solve optimization problems like shortest paths, sequence alignment, and resource allocation, common examples being the Fibonacci sequence, knapsack problem, and edit distance. It is a core topic in technical coding interviews and algorithm design courses.
