Constraint Satisfaction Problem

A Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) is a type of problem where you need to find values for a set of variables that satisfy specific rules or conditions, called constraints. Think of it like scheduling or puzzle-solving—like assigning times to meetings without conflicts, or coloring a map so neighboring regions have different colors. The goal is to find an arrangement that meets all the constraints simultaneously. CSPs are used in many areas such as computer algorithms, logistics, and resource management, helping to find optimal or feasible solutions efficiently.
