NPComplete Problem
An NP-complete problem is a decision problem that is both in the complexity class NP (its solutions can be verified quickly) and is at least as hard as every other problem in NP, meaning an efficient algorithm for one NP-complete problem would yield an efficient algorithm for all of them.
