adding a split_workload algorithm

Open meg-1 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Describe your change:

This algorithm is a brute-force search over (nearly) all 2^n possible partitions and was created for educational purposes. The asymptotic runtime of this code is: O(n * 2^n) this is a case of the partition problem. It accepts a multiset ( list ) of integers, distributes them, and returns a tuple, containing two lists, with minimal difference between their sums.
