+## dynamic programming
+
+<br>
+
+* take a recursive algorithm and cache overlapping problems (repeated calls).
+* the runtime is given by the number of calls.
+* **top-down**: how can we divide the problem into sub-problems?
+    * top-down dynamic programming is called **memoization**.
+* **bottom-up**: solve for a simple case, then figure out for more elements.
