  2. Knapsack problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knapsack_problem

    The most common problem being solved is the 0-1 knapsack problem, which restricts the number of copies of each kind of item to zero or one. Given a set of items numbered from 1 up to , each with a weight and a value , along with a maximum weight capacity ,

  3. Heap's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap's_algorithm

    In a 1977 review of permutation-generating algorithms, Robert Sedgewick concluded that it was at that time the most effective algorithm for generating permutations by computer. [2] The sequence of permutations of n objects generated by Heap's algorithm is the beginning of the sequence of permutations of n+1 objects.

  4. Subset sum problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem

    If n is a small fixed number, then an exhaustive search for the solution is practical. L - the precision of the problem, stated as the number of binary place values that it takes to state the problem. If L is a small fixed number, then there are dynamic programming algorithms that can solve it exactly. As both n and L grow large, SSP is NP-hard.

  5. Programming by permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_by_permutation

    Programming by permutation, sometimes called "programming by accident" or "shotgunning", is an approach to software development wherein a programming problem is solved by iteratively making small changes (permutations) and testing each change to see if it behaves as desired. This approach sometimes seems attractive when the programmer does not ...

  6. HackerRank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HackerRank

    HackerRank categorizes most of their programming challenges into a number of core computer science domains, [3] including database management, mathematics, and artificial intelligence. When a programmer submits a solution to a programming challenge, their submission is scored on the accuracy of their output.

  7. Twelvefold way - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelvefold_way

    This case is equivalent to counting sequences of n distinct elements of X, also called n-permutations of X, or sequences without repetitions; again this sequence is formed by the n images of the elements of N. This case differs from the one of unrestricted sequences in that there is one choice fewer for the second element, two fewer for the ...

  8. Stack-sortable permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack-sortable_permutation

    The stack-sortable permutations are exactly the permutations that do not contain the permutation pattern 231; they are counted by the Catalan numbers, and may be placed in bijection with many other combinatorial objects with the same counting function including Dyck paths and binary trees.

  9. 100 prisoners problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_prisoners_problem

    Such a permutation is a one-to-one mapping of the set of natural numbers from 1 to 100 to itself. A sequence of numbers which after repeated application of the permutation returns to the first number is called a cycle of the permutation. Every permutation can be decomposed into disjoint cycles, that
