- I think this pretty much describes the problem (unfortunately my Google skills were failing me yesterday)... so the answer seems to be no, its not possible to solve perfectly in a realistic time-frame.Craig Francis– Craig Francis2009-01-06 09:05:14 +00:00Commented Jan 6, 2009 at 9:05
- Some problems are hard to Google if you haven't heard of them by name before. I've never implemented the DP solution, so I can't say how it would perform with 100 inputs. It might be worth a try.Bill the Lizard– Bill the Lizard2009-01-07 03:21:58 +00:00Commented Jan 7, 2009 at 3:21
- Actually, only the dynamic programming is hard to implement. The di-binary solution is very easy to implement (I've done it in SQL) and extremely efficient up to about 20+ values.RBarryYoung– RBarryYoung2009-09-06 02:29:28 +00:00Commented Sep 6, 2009 at 2:29

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
