Solves the Change Making problem as an integer linear program.
change_making(items, value)
items |
vector of integer numbers greater than zero. |
value |
integer number |
The Change Making problem attempts to find a minimal combination of items that sum up to a given value. If the items are distinct positive integers, the solution is unique.
If the problem is infeasible, i.e. there is no such combination, the
returned count
is 0.
The problem is treated as an Integer Linear Program (ILP) and solved
with the lp
solver in lpSolve
.
Returns a list with components count
, the number of items used to
sum up to the value, and solution
, the number of items used
per item.
See the Wikipedia article on the "change making problem".
