The subset sum problem can be solved in onw where w is a big number that can roughly set as the sum of all integers in the set. Below we will look at a program in excel vba that solves a small instance of a knapsack problem. The trick to the reduction is to use numbers to encode statements about the 3cnf formula, crafting those numbers in such a way that you can later make an arithmetic proposition about the numbers that is only true if the original 3cnf formula is satisfiable.

The discovery of such an algorithm or a proof that none exists would be a major result in computer science.
Subset sum and dynamic programming programming, algorithms. Now for every element in he set we have 2 options, either we include it or exclude it. This means that if our input is big enough we may be in. I have a goal of 9 and using the number set of 1,2,3,4,5, i want to find the most optimal way to get to 5 using the the combination of numbers in the array. I had to design a method of filling multiple sets of racks that were of a certain fixed height with individual units called mccs.
