string - PHP substr() function is not working as expected -


i removing first character of string , using substr(); function that.
example : 

<?php $amount =  '€300'; echo substr($amount ,1); ?>

this code doing work fine have bug. when display substr() function applied string display other symbol @ beginning of string. below image has output.enter image description here

in above image can see displaying unwanted symbol. when apply substr() function again works successfull.
want know why function having symbol? symbol mean? why coming in output?

i managed solve problem using utf8_decode, i.e.:

$amount =  utf8_decode('€300'); echo substr($amount ,1); //300

recursion - Can every recursive algorithm be improved with dynamic programming? -

i first year undergraduate csc student looking competitive programming. recursion involves defining , solving sub problems. understand, top down dynamic programming (dp) involves memoizing solutions sub problems reduce time complexity of algorithm. can top down dp used improve efficiency of every recursive algorithm overlapping sub problems? dp fail work , how can identify this? the short answer is: yes. however, there constraints. obvious 1 recursive calls must overlap. i.e. during execution of algorithm, recursive function must called multiple times same parameters. lets truncate recursion tree memoization. can use memoization reduce number of calls. however, reduction of calls comes price. need store results somewhere. next obvious constraint need have enough memory. comes not-so obvious constraint. memory access requires time. first need find result stored , maybe copy location. in cases, might faster let recursion calculate result instead of loading somewher...
