Randomized Algorithms vs Exact Algorithms
Developers should learn randomized algorithms when dealing with NP-hard problems, large datasets, or scenarios where approximate solutions are sufficient, as they can provide faster or more practical solutions than exact deterministic methods meets developers should learn exact algorithms when working on problems requiring guaranteed optimal solutions, such as in operations research, logistics planning, or secure systems design, where errors can have significant consequences. Here's our take.
