What is Divide-and-Conquer (D&C)

Chapter 139
Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, Third Edition
An important algorithm design paradigm based on multi-branched recursion. A divide and conquer algorithm works by recursively breaking down a problem into two or more sub-problems of the same (or related) type, until these become simple enough to be solved directly. The solutions to the sub-problems are then combined to give a solution to the original problem.
