Minimum Sum Partition

t
package com.thealgorithms.dynamicprogramming;

// Partition a set into two subsets such that the difference of subset sums is minimum

/*
Input:  arr[] = {1, 6, 11, 5}
Output: 1
Explanation:
Subset1 = {1, 5, 6}, sum of Subset1 = 12
Subset2 = {11}, sum of Subset2 = 11

Input:  arr[] = {36, 7, 46, 40}
Output: 23
Explanation:
Subset1 = {7, 46} ;  sum of Subset1 = 53
Subset2 = {36, 40} ; sum of Subset2  = 76
