Describe your change:

  • Add an algorithm: The Word Break Problem using a backtracking approach, added under the backtracking directory.

The Word Break Problem determines if a given string can be segmented into valid dictionary words. It uses a backtracking approach to explore all possible segmentations and ensures an optimal, non-greedy solution. The algorithm is implemented with proper type hints, docstrings, and doctests to conform to the repository's standards.
