[algogeeks] efficient backtracking algorithm for the coin changing problem

2010-04-10 Thread «« ÄÑÜJ »»
Need help in designing efficient backtracking algorithm for the coin changing problem. where a1, a2, an are the set of distinct coins types, where each ai is an integer. and each type is unlimited quantity. the problem to make up the exact amount C using minimum total number of coins. use

here is simple way to do it..: A[1000] //1000 is maximum formadable sum can be provided.. S is set of coins that you have,K is the sum to be formed initialize the array A by larege value for(x in S): A[x]=1 for 0i1000 for 0j1000 if(i+j1000 A[i]+A[j]A[i+j] )
