- Below are few examples which is started with simple to advance level (Travelling Salesman Problem and 0/1 knapsack problem)
- These examples are based on brute force Algorithm
My Note:-
- There are several downsides of this Brute Force Algorithm but before directly jumping into Dynamic programming and other approaches
- you should have ideas on this approach and you must find out why we need a Dynamic Programming pattern (Recursion + Memorization)
If you closely observe the pattern for the brute force

/*
Initialization: Calculate Distance Explanation
totalDistance is initialized to 0.
First Iteration (i = 0):
From city 0 to city 1: matrix[0][1] is 10.
Add 10 to totalDistance, making it 10.
Second Iteration (i = 1):
From city 1 to city 3: matrix[1][3] is 25.
Add 25 to totalDistance, making it 35.
Third Iteration (i = 2):
From city 3 to city 2: matrix[3][2] is 30.
Add 30 to totalDistance, making it 65.
Return to Starting City:
From city 2 back to city 0: matrix[2][0] is 15.
Add 15 to totalDistance, making it 80.
Return Total Distance:
The function returns 80, which is the total distance of the path [0, 1, 3, 2, 0].

[ 0, 1, 2, 3 ]
