Recursion  Questions  (Branch & Bound)

The Game Of Weights (codechef )

In this question , there are two cases

 

case1) when barrier[i] < total barrier  ( here we have two options either we can take this or leave this)

case2 ) when barrier[i] > total barrier (here we must have to take this)

Base condition of this recursion , if we reached at last position ,

                                                              and if barrier[i] < total barrier then  

                                                                            return total cost. 

                                                                    else  return total cost+cost[i]
