Most Efficient Cutting
Metal strips, pipes, rods, etc. are being delivered in lengths of 6000 millimeters (6 meters). We want to cut them into pieces of different lengths.
Write a piece of code that finds how to do this in the most efficient way, that is, with the least possible quantity of material wasted. You are given the requested pipe lengths (as a list of integers). You should find the most efficient way of cutting, and return the sum of the wasted pipe length.
Input: A 'BOM' (Bill Of Materials), a list of lengths in millimeters that have to be cut (list of integer).
Output: The sum of wasted pipe length (Integer).
Example:
most_efficient_cutting([3000, 2200, 2000, 1800, 1600, 1300]) == 100 most_efficient_cutting([4000, 4000, 4000]) == 6000
How it is used:
To find the most efficient way of using the given resources.
Precondition:
all(1 <= b <= 6000 for b in bom)
CheckiO Extensions allow you to use local files to solve missions. More info in a blog post.
In order to install CheckiO client you'll need installed Python (version at least 3.8)
Install CheckiO Client first:
pip3 install checkio_client
Configure your tool
checkio --domain=py config --key=
Sync solutions into your local folder
checkio sync
(in beta testing) Launch local server so your browser can use it and sync solution between local file end extension on the fly. (doesn't work for safari)
checkio serv -d
Alternatevly, you can install Chrome extension or FF addon
checkio install-plugin
checkio install-plugin --ff
checkio install-plugin --chromium
Read more here about other functionality that the checkio client provides. Feel free to submit an issue in case of any difficulties.
