 in non-increasing order.
 
 Side Effects:	algorithm modifies global array "A"

 replacement of "A" with the parameter
 will cause effect to be on the parameter

 algorithm

 Algorithm:		Greedy
 
 Parameters:	A "remainder" (number to be consumed), and an
 integer "i" marked as a starting index for
 manipulations on global array.
 
 Description:	A greedy algorithm to increase the concentrations
 of each object in the sorted array to consume as
 much of the remainder as possible given the
 starting element lovcated at the index.
 
 Side Effects:	The algorithm modifies both global arrays "A" 
 (necessarily) and "Solution" (conditionally). 
 Producing viable solutions to the value partitioning
 problem, and replacing the global solution
 if the local one is more efficient based on the
 constraints of the problem.

 Algorithm:		Backtrack
 
 Parameters:	Integers "start" and "stop" marking the indicies
 of the global array "A" over which the algorithm
 will operate during its call. 
 
 Description:	A backtracking algorithm, assuming a pre-sorted
 array in "locally greedy" (between the indicies) 
 concentrations. The algorithm moves slowly between
 start and stop, from right to left, decrementing 
 the concentration of the object at the current
 index, calling Greedy() from that point. This
 forces a trace over the entire permutation space
 of all viable solutions. Comparisons to the global
 solution array, as described in documentation above,
 are performed in Greedy(). The algorithm recurses
 until the entire solution space between the indicies
 is mapped. Then returns control to the calling
 function. (In terminus, main())
 
 Side Effects:	The algorithm modifies global array "A" directly
 and "Solution" indirectly by calling Greedy()
 which has this known side effect.

why can't you do that yourself? (I don't know java so I can't help you)

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help me translate this into java.
Thanks

There's not such a mechanism of translating C to Java, except for the most rudimentary and simple statements. Since both languages are different, all that it can be done is to understand what the program is suppose to do in C and try to achieve the same result using Java.
Therefore, what you are asking is for someone to write you a new program in Java, not helping you to translate to Java.

commented: nice answer :) +25

Sorry I didn't realize it was such a big difference. Thank you for answering.
