Bin Packing Algorithm [modified]

And none of the 6360 hits for bin packing algorithm that come up on Google helped you any?

Does this [^] help? :)

Then you needed to be more specific in your question. Your question essentially came across as I have a homework assignment that involves the bin packing algorithm and you're too lazy to even look it up. You didn't tell us what you knew or didn't know. There was no specific question.

You may also try to implement it using

Certainly there has to be something useful in those 6360 results :suss:

I learned more about it than I wanted to from the first one, the Wikipedia article. :cool:

Which part? Where it says that it is a combinatorial NP-hard problem? OT: Now only if google could help me figure out why Access won't work with a .dll I registered grrrrrrrrr

Pretty much. I actually worked on a project that did order picking of product from a carousel system to bins about 20 or so years ago. Fortunately, I got to work on more interesting parts of it and then went off to better problems.

Microsoft? ;P

Uh huh. The bastard works locally, but once I try to run the database over the network, it freaks out over the .dll, registered and everything. Nothing like doing a demo to the client, selling them on it, and now it craps. They heard plenty of ranting and raving about Access today before this project :-\

The way the searching goes these days, maybe the cure for cancer... Or one of those fake websites that plauge google and pops up with people offering to pack your bins. Who knows? Google doesn't :).
