What is NP?

NP is the set of all decision problems (questions with a yes-or-no answer) for which the 'yes'-answers can be verified in polynomial time (O(nk) where n is the problem size, and k is a constant) by a deterministic Turing machine. Polynomial time is sometimes used as the definition of fast or quickly.
