P problems are easily solved by computers, and NP problems are not easily solvable, but if you present a potential solution it’s easy to verify whether it’s correct or not. All P problems are NP problems. That is, if it’s easy for the computer to solve, it’s easy to verify the solution. So the P vs NP problem is just asking if these two problem types are the same, or if they are different, i.e. that there are some problems that are easily verified but not easily solved. It currently appears that P ≠ NP, meaning we have plenty of examples of problems that we can quickly verify potential answers to, but that we can’t solve quickly. If anyone were able to show that P is equal to NP, it would make difficult real-world problems trivial for computers.
