C/C++ Backtracking Programs Last Updated : 23 Jul, 2025 Comments Improve Suggest changes Like Article Like Report Backtracking is a problem-solving approach in which every possible solution is tested against the specified constraints. In Backtracking, if a solution fails to meet the given constraints, the algorithm retraces its steps to a previously verified point along the solution path. Backtracking can be viewed as the improvement of the brute-force method as the remaining solutions in the solution path are not considered when an incorrect solution is encountered. In this article, we will discuss some of the top backtracking practice problems in the C/C++ language.
