Hi, Unhappy it isn=B4t.

We work at Submarino.Com, a brazilian Amazon.com version. And we are
analizing old Portugal solds, where we have a fiscal plan and need
determinate how it was calculated.

Sorry my english, but it=B4s a real situation. We are trying by try and 
error,
but it=B4s impossible.

Thanks in advance.

I believe it's called the "napsack problem", it's NP-complete, and good 
luck
finding an algorithm other than trying every combination of items 
against
every other combination...

Hi,

We have a big trouble:

We need to define, among 10 to 30 values, any combination that match an
especific amount.

For example, I need to know which of the 10 values below totalize 5000:

1000
1500
2000
2300
2700
400
700
900
1900
2100

You may get more than one result, but I need just one. Some 
possibilities:
- 400 + 2700 + 900;
- 2300 + 2700;
- 1900 + 2100 + 1000;

It=B4s a big logical trouble.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
