KnapSack

A genetic algorithm (Local search) approach to solve the 0/1 Knapsack Problem.

The genetic algorithm is implemented in the header file utility.hpp. The program after solving Knapsack using genetic algorithm compares the result with the optimal answer calculated using dynamic programming. This dynamic programming algorithm is implemented in dp.hpp.
