The Knapsack Problem(s)

In this section, we will discuss the standard knapsack problem, also known as the 0-1 knapsack problem, which is known to be NP-complete, and thereby does not allow us to have any polynomial-time solution. Then, we will turn our discussion toward a version of the knapsack problem called the fractional knapsack problem, which can be solved using a greedy approach. Our focus in this section is to demonstrate how even subtle differences between how a problem is defined can lead to large changes in the solution strategies.

The Knapsack Problem

Suppose you are given a set of objects, O = {O1, O2, …, On}, with each having a certain weight, Wi, and a value of Vi. You are also given a bag (or a knapsack) that can carry only a total weight of T units. Now, say you are tasked with finding out about a set of objects to keep in your bag so that the total weight is less than or equal to T, and the total value of the objects is the maximum it can possibly be.

John Carey

John Carey

A composer and pianist, John Carey's formal education is almost exclusively based within the musical realm. Having used computers and other forms of technology extensively in his artistic endeavors, he invested years of self-study in the subjects of programming and mathematics and now works professionally as a software engineer. He believes his unusual background provides him with a unique and relatively non-academic perspective on the topic of software development. He currently works for Hydratec Industries, a company that primarily develops CAD software for fire sprinkler system designers that is used to perform hydraulic calculations on proposed designs so as to determine their efficacy and legality.

Beginning Java Data Structures and Algorithms

Beginning Java Data Structures and Algorithms

Learning about data structures and algorithms gives you a better insight on how to solve common programming problems. Most of the problems faced everyday by programmers have been solved, tried, and tested. By knowing how these solutions work, you can ensure that you choose the right tool when you face these problems. This book teaches you tools that you can use to build efficient applications. It starts with an introduction to algorithms and big O notation, later explains bubble, merge, quicksort, and other popular programming patterns. You'll also learn about data structures such as binary trees, hash tables, and graphs. The book progresses to advanced concepts, such as algorithm design paradigms and graph theory. By the end of the book, you will know how to correctly implement common algorithms and data structures within your applications.
