Java Program to Implement the Bin Packing Algorithm


Code:

//This is a sample program to illustrate the Bin-Packing algorithm using next fit heuristics
import java.util.Scanner;

public class Bin_Packing_Algorithm 
{
    public static void binPacking(int []a, int size, int n)
    {
        int binCount=1;
        int s = size;
        for(int i=0; i
        {
            if(s - a[i] > 0)
            {
                s -= a[i];
                continue;
            }
            else
            {
                binCount++;
                s = size;
                i--;
            }
        }

        System.out.println("Number of bins required: "+binCount);
    }

    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        System.out.println("BIN - PACKING Algorithm");
        System.out.println("Enter the number of items in Set: ");
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        int n = sc.nextInt();
        System.out.println("Enter "+n+" items:");
        int []a = new int[n];
        for(int i=0; i
            a[i] = sc.nextInt();
        System.out.println("Enter the bin size: ");
        int size = sc.nextInt();
        binPacking(a, size, n);
        sc.close();
    }
}

Output:

BIN - PACKING Algorithm
Enter the number of items in Set: 
8
Enter 8 items:
4 5 8 3 4 5 1 6
Enter the bin size: 
10

Number of bins required: 5
