The dictionary meaning of backtracking is to retrace your own steps. But how is this useful in computer programming. There are certain problems where only only way could lead you to the correct answer, and to reach that solution you need to revert back to your previous state. Hence backtracking. Watch this video to understand what kind of problems require a backtracking algorithmic approach along with an example of your favorite game.
