<u>Explanation:</u>

Open-source software in simple terms refers to software whose source code can be changed by another developer other than the original developer (the original creator).

Benefits:

  • it allows improvements
  • it is easy to get tutorials about the software from several developers.
  • fewer usage restrictions

A Closed-source software does not allow modification, in other words, it means programmers cannot improve the program expect if given permission by the creators.

To ensure the quality of the program the developer needs to perform periodic internal testing.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Pseudocode is as follows:

// below is a function that takes two parameters:1. An array of items 2. An integer for weight W

// it returns an array of selected items which satisfy the given condition of sum <= max sum.

function findSubset( array items[], integer W)

{

initialize:

maxSum = 0;

ansArray = [];

// take each "item" from array to create all possible combinations of arrays by comparing with "W" and // "maxSum"

start the loop:

// include item in the ansArray[]

ansArray.push(item);

// remove the item from the items[]

items.pop(item);

ansArray.push(item1);

start the while loop(sum(ansArray[]) <= W):

// exclude the element already included and start including till

if (sum(ansArray[]) > maxSum)

// if true then include item in ansArray[]

ansArray.push(item);

// update the maxSum

maxSum = sum(ansArray[items]);

else

// move to next element

continue;

end the loop;

// again make the item[] same by pushing the popped element

items.push(item);

end the loop;

return the ansArray[]

}

Explanation:

You can find example to implement the algorithm.
