What are NP problems?
—NP problems are a class of problems that are hard to solve but easy to check.
What is NP-completeness?
—NP-completeness is a concept that connects different NP problems. Solving one NP problem would solve them all.
What is the SAT problem?
—The SAT problem is a famous NP problem that can carry out computation.
Why is NP-completeness important?
—NP-completeness is crucial in computer science as it helps understand the complexity of problems and their relationships.
How does NP-completeness revolutionize computation?
—By solving one NP problem, we could revolutionize computation and solve all NP problems efficiently.
