knapsack_01


knapsack_01, a C++ code which uses brute force to solve small versions of the 0/1 knapsack problem.

In the 0/1 knapsack problem, we are given a knapsack with carrying capacity C, and a set of N items, with the I-th item having a weight of W(I). We want to pack as much total weight as possible into the knapsack without exceeding the weight limit. We do this by specifying which items we will not take (0) or take (1).

This library uses a simple brute force or exhaustive search method, which is guaranteed to get the optimal solution, but which is not efficient for large values of N.
