1 - Design a brute-force algorithm for solving the problem below (provide pseudocode) : You have a large container with storage size: W lb. You have many Items (n) where each item weight is: wi. the algorithm you design should find the subset of items with the largest weight not exceeding W (Container storage capacity)

2 - Submit a simple program in Java that implements your algorithm with an example test run.

    Pseudocode is as follows:

    / / below is a function that takes two parameters:1. An array of items 2. An integer for weight W

    / / it returns an array of selected items which satisfy the given condition of sum < = max sum.

    function findSubset (array items[], integer W)

    {

    initialize:

    maxSum = 0;

    ansArray = [];

    / / take each "item" from array to create all possible combinations of arrays by comparing with "W" and / / "maxSum"

    start the loop:

    / / include item in the ansArray[]

    ansArray. push (item);

    / / remove the item from the items[]

    items. pop (item);

    ansArray. push (item1);

    start the while loop (sum (ansArray[]) < = W):

    / / exclude the element already included and start including till

    if (sum (ansArray[]) > maxSum)

    / / if true then include item in ansArray[]

    ansArray. push (item);

    / / update the maxSum

    maxSum = sum (ansArray[items]);

    else

    / / move to next element

    continue;

    end the loop;

    / / again make the item[] same by pushing the popped element

    items. push (item);

    end the loop;

    return the ansArray[]

    }

    Explanation:

    You can find example to implement the algorithm.
