The knapsack problem can be solved by using different methods of computational algorithms. But here we will solve this problem by using a genetic algorithm. So, we could put valuable items in the knapsack. Example: Let us consider, we have four items and their weights and values are given:in the below table: ITEM. WEIGHT (Kg) VALUE.
A list of items is given, each item has its own value and weight. Items can be placed in a knapsack whose maximum weight limit is W. The problem is to find the weight that is less than or equal to W, and value is maximized.
There are two types of Knapsack problem.
For the 0 – 1 Knapsack, items cannot be divided into smaller pieces, and for fractional knapsack, items can be broken into smaller pieces.
Here we will discuss the fractional knapsack problem.
The time complexity of this algorithm is O(n Log n).
Input − maximum weight of the knapsack, list of items and the number of items
Output: The maximum value obtained.
