knapsack implementation in c++ code example
Example: knapsack problem
// memory efficient and iterative approach to the knapsack problem
using namespace std;
// n is the number of items
// w is the knapsack's capacity
int n, w;
int main() {
/*
input format:
n w
value_1 cost_1
value_2 cost_2
.
.
value_n cost_n
*/
cin >> n >> w;
vector<long long> dp(w + 1, 0);
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
int value, cost;
cin >> value >> cost;
for (int j = w; j >= cost; --j)
dp[j] = max(dp[j], value + dp[j - cost]);
}
// the answer is dp[w]
cout << dp[w];
}
