subset-sum-pisinger

Implements Pisinger's 2004 algorithm that provides a linear time, iterative solution to subset sum when input is only positive integers and the target sum is a positive constant C that is greater than or equal to each integer in the set.

Installation

$ npm install subset-sum-pisinger 

Usage

const subsetSum = require('subset-sum-pisinger');
console.log(subsetSum({ 
    weights: [6, 4, 2, 6, 4, 3], 
    capacity: 15 }));
//  { solutionExists: true, solution: [ 6, 4, 2, 3 ] }
console.log(subsetSum({ 
    weights: [6, 4, 2, 6, 4, 3], 
    capacity: 200 }));
// { solutionExists: false, solution: null }

Testing

$ npm test

Error handling

This module will throw an error on invalid input.

console.log(subsetSum({ 
    weights: [6, 4, 2, 6, 4, 3], 
    capacity: 'invalid' }));
// throw new SubsetSumInputError(`Expected integer value but got 'invalid' instead`);
