5 Questions
What is the condition to determine if an item shouldn't be added to the knapsack?
The weight of the item plus the weight of the candidate exceeds the capacity
Why must an item be extended if it can extend a candidate?
To potentially reach a higher value solution
What does it mean when an item can extend a candidate towards a solution?
The sum of their weights doesn't exceed the capacity
In the context of extending a candidate, what does 'pruning the search space early' refer to?
Ending the search for a better solution prematurely
Why is it important to ensure that items in this problem cannot have negative values?
Negative values would lead to invalid solutions
Explore permutations that satisfy specific constraints like the difference between the first and last numbers, or starting with an even number and having consecutive odds. Learn how to solve such problems using recursive exhaustive search and backtracking techniques.
