Greedy Knapsack Visualizer

Watch the greedy algorithm select items based on usefulness-to-weight ratio.

Legend:

Currently Evaluating
Selected (fits in knapsack)
Skipped (doesn't fit)

Greedy Knapsack Algorithm:

  1. 1. Calculate usefulness-to-weight ratio for each item
  2. 2. Sort items by ratio in descending order
  3. 3. For each item in sorted order:
  4. a. If item fits in remaining capacity, select it
  5. b. Otherwise, skip it
  6. 4. Continue until all items are processed

Note: The greedy approach gives a good approximation but may not always find the optimal solution for the 0/1 knapsack problem.
