Brute force is a straightforward approach to solving a problem, usually directly based on the problem statement and definition.

1. Brute force is applicable to a wide variety of problems.

2. For some problems does generate a reasonable algorithm.

3. If the problem is only infrequently solved then the expense of developing a better algorithm is not justified.

4. The brute force algorithm may be good for small problem sizes.

5. Brute force can be used for the comparison of more sophisticated algorithms.
