MidLifeXis,
Ok - I understand now. Not extremely difficult to fix though. Just add another bullet that says if a file won't fit in any allocated bucket then add 1. Update: 2008-11-26 According to bin packing, this heuristic approach can be at worse 11/9 OPT + 1 bin so I was wrong about my guess as to the number of extra CDs needed. I stand by my assertion that such an approach is still preferred over the NP hard problem since CDs cost pennies.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
