anta needs to start preparing for the coming Christmas. He has one bag that can hold a maximum of Mkg in gifts’ weight. Each gift gi has a weight wi, and obviously Santa wants to take the maximum number of gifts he can hold. Given the weight and value of n gifts and the total weight, M, the bag can hold, Santa needs you to design an algorithm that tells him which gifts he should put in his bag such that the total number of gifts is maximized given that the total weight of the selected gifts should not exceed M. What is the worst-case running time of your algorithm? Justify your answer.

Santa wants to take the maximum number of gifts he can hold.
Given the weight and value of n gifts and the total weight, M, the bag can hold,
Santa needs you to design an algorithm that tells him which gifts he should put in his
bag such that the total number of gifts is maximized given that the total weight of
the selected gifts should not exceed M. What is the worst-case running time of your
algorithm? Justify your answer.
