DP is a resolution technique that uses progressive (i.e. "dynamic") memoization (i.e. "programming" as in "tabulation", or resulting data stored in and retrieved from a table) as a way to curtail the cost of overlapping (i.e. intermediary and repetitive) subproblems. Memoization is a form of deterministic caching.
