That DP is part of programming? Dynamic programming was a made up nonsense term from the 50s to be opaque and vague so they wouldn't be bothered. It doesn't mean anything, but people try to make up some backwards rationalization. Computing a factorial by recursively computing all the other previous factorials if you have any of them already done is an insane way to work. Doing something straightforward and sane like saving some results is like walking on broken glass then calling putting something over your feet "shoe walking". There is no special fancy label for doing the simple sane version of something.
