Knapsack Problem

The knapsack problem (a.k.a rucksack problem) is a problem in combinatorial optimization: Given a set of items, each with a weight and a value, determine the number of each item to include in a collection so that the total weight is less than or equal to a given limit and the total value is as large as possible.

				K[i][w] = Max(value[i - 1] + K[i - 1][w - weight[i - 1]], K[i - 1][w]);

				K[i][w] = K[i - 1][w];

	return K[itemsCount][capacity];
}

Example

									int value[] = { 60, 100, 120 };
int weight[] = { 10, 20, 30 };
int capacity = 50;
int itemsCount = 3;

int result = KnapSack(capacity, weight, value, itemsCount);
