Understanding the unconditional enumeration pattern
Many real-world problems may have multiple solutions, and to solve them, we may need to find and collect all the solutions. Backtracking is the ultimate brute-force technique to solve any problem that starts from an initial state, explores the entire problem space, and builds a solution incrementally. Unconditional enumeration is the most fundamental backtracking technique, which starts from an initial problem state, explores the entire problem space by making a independent set of choices from every state and collects the solution states and backtracks to make different choices.
It is important to note that any choice we make at a step is independent of any earlier choices; hence, we call this process unconditional enumeration.
The unconditional enumeration pattern is the classification of problems that can be solved using the unconditional enumeration backtracking technique.
