De Bruijn Algorithm

The De Bruijn algorithm involves creating a special type of sequence called a De Bruijn sequence, which contains every possible combination of a given set of characters (like numbers or letters) of a certain length, exactly once. It’s useful for efficiently testing all combinations without repeats. The algorithm systematically constructs this sequence by linking shorter sequences, ensuring no patterns are missed. This approach is valuable in fields like cybersecurity, data compression, and DNA sequencing, where testing or analyzing many combinations efficiently is essential without unnecessary redundancy.
