The Coin Change Problem is a classic dynamic programming problem where you need to determine the number of ways to make a given amount using a set of coins or find the minimum number of coins needed. It can be solved using a recursive approach, but the most efficient solutions involve dynamic programming (DP) to avoid redundant calculations. The two common DP approaches are the bottom-up method (iterative DP with a table) and the top-down method (recursion with memoization). If you're looking for an optimal solution, using a DP array with a time complexity of O(n * m) (where n is the amount and m is the number of coins) is the best approach. Let me know if you need code or further clarification!
