Right now I am attempting to code the knapsack problem in Python 3.2. I am trying to do this dynamically with a matrix. The algorithm that I am trying to use is as follows
Implements the memoryfunction method for the knapsack problem Input: A nonnegative integer i indicating the number of the first items being considered and a nonnegative integer j indicating the knapsack's capacity Output: The value of an optimal feasible subset of the first i items Note: Uses as global variables input arrays Weights[1..n], Values[1...n] and table V[0...n, 0...W] whose entries are initialized with -1's except for row 0 and column 0 initialized with 0's
if V[i, j] < 0
if j < Weights[i]
value <-- MFKnapsack(i - 1, j)
else
value <-- max(MFKnapsack(i -1, j),
Values[i] + MFKnapsack(i -1, j - Weights[i]))
V[i, j} <-- value
return V[i, j]
If you run the code below that I have you can see that it tries to insert the weight into the the list. Since this is using the recursion I am having a hard time spotting the problem. Also I get the error: can not add an integer with a list using the '+'. I have the matrix initialized to start with all 0's for the first row and first column everything else is initialized to -1. Any help will be much appreciated.

dimension = len(weight)+1
F = [[-1]*capacityJ]*dimension
#first column zeroed
for i in range(dimension):
