Explainer :
Greedy algorithms are like a kid who always takes the biggest slice of cake first. They make the best choice now, but that might not leave enough cake for later. It's a quick way to solve problems, but sometimes being greedy isn't the best idea!
Additional Context
In computer science, a greedy algorithm is an algorithmic paradigm that follows the problem-solving heuristic of making the locally optimal choice at each stage. In other words, it makes the best possible decision at each step without worrying about future consequences. This approach is called "greedy" because it always chooses the option that seems to be the best at that moment.
