Is there a well-known algorithm for allocating planks to trucks? -


i have implement algorithm described below, , have 2 questions:

  • is problem np-complete?
  • is similar well-known algorithmic problem?

the problem

i have planks of wood of 3 lengths: 10m, 8m , 5m.

i need transport these 1 place another.

i have 3 types trucks can use this, truck a, truck b , truck c.

each truck can carry @ 10 planks, truck can carry types of planks, , truck b can carry planks of 8m , 5m, , truck c can carry planks of 5m.

each truck has own price list transporting planks:

truck 1 plank $50  2-5 planks $100 6-10 planks $150  truck b 1 plank $30 2-5 planks $90 6-10 planks $140  truck c 1 plank $20 2-5 planks $80 6-10 planks $110

the goal of algorithm: find cheapest way transport collection of planks.

example: have 5 planks of 10m, , 1 plank of 8m.

there 2 possible distributions:

  1. 6 on truck a: $150
  2. 5 on truck , 1 on truck b: $100 + $30.

so option 2 best. start solving more planks, number of possible combinations grow.

the specific pricelist can change, remain true never saves money divide planks of same size on more trucks needed.

so: if have 20 planks of same size, solution always: 2 trucks each 10 planks. don't need try combinations 3 or more trucks.

if have 21 planks of same size, have try combinations involve 3 trucks.

this problem generalization of bin-packing problem makes np-hard problem. refer link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bin_packing_problem

utf 8 - split utf-8 string into bytes in python -

i trying split utf-8 string bytes in python 3. problem is, when use bytearray, byte, encode etc functions array size of element 14 bytes, not 1 byte expected. need split text file sequence of bytes , send them byte after byte using sockets. tried this: infile = open (file, "r") str = infile.read() byte_str = bytes(str, 'utf-8') print("size of byte_str",sys.getsizeof(byte_str[0])) print gives me 14, need 1... suggestion? quoting official documentation : sys.getsizeof(object[, default]) return size of object in bytes. object can type of object. built-in objects return correct results, not have hold true third-party extensions implementation specific. only memory consumption directly attributed object accounted for, not memory consumption of objects refers to. if given, default returned if object not provide means retrieve size. otherwise typeerror raised. getsizeof() calls object’s __sizeof__ method , adds ...
