Challenge



Write a program or function that, given a collection of positive integers $S$ and a positive integer $n$, finds as many non-overlapping subcollections $T_1, T_2, ..., T_k$ of $S$ as possible, such that the sum of every $T_m$ is equal to $n$.



Example



Given $S=lbrace1,1,2,2,3,3,3,5,6,8rbrace$ and $n=6$, you could take the following subcollections to get $k=3$:



  • $T_1=lbrace1,1,2,2rbrace$

  • $T_2=lbrace3,3rbrace$

  • $T_3=lbrace6rbrace$

And the remaining elements $lbrace3,5,8rbrace$ are not used. However, there is a way to get $k=4$ separate subcollections:



  • $T_1=lbrace1,2,3rbrace$

  • $T_2=lbrace1,5rbrace$

  • $T_3=lbrace3,3rbrace$

  • $T_4=lbrace6rbrace$

This leaves $lbrace2,8rbrace$ unused. There is no way to do this with 5 subcollections1, so $k=4$ for this example.



Input



Input will be a collection of positive integers $S$, and a positive integer $n$. $S$ may be taken in any reasonable format: a comma- or newline-separated string, an actual array/list, etc. You may assume that $S$ is sorted (if your input format has a defined order).



Output



The output may be either:



  1. the maximal number of subcollections $k$; or

  2. any collection which has $k$ items (e.g., the list of subcollections $T$ itself), in any reasonable format.

Note that there is not guaranteed to be any subcollections with sum $n$ (i.e. some inputs will output 0, , etc.)



Test cases



n, S -> k
1, [1] -> 1
1, [2] -> 0
2, [1] -> 0
1, [1, 1] -> 2
2, [1, 1, 1] -> 1
3, [1, 1, 2, 2] -> 2
9, [1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7] -> 2
9, [1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 7, 7] -> 1
8, [1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 6, 6] -> 2
6, [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 5, 6, 8] -> 4
13, [2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 6, 8, 9, 9, 11, 12] -> 5
22, [1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10, 13, 14, 14, 17, 18, 18, 21] -> 10


Scoring



This is code-golf, so the shortest program in bytes in each language wins. Good luck!




1. Mini-proof: the $8$ is obviously useless, but when you remove it, the total sum of $S$ becomes $26$; therefore, it can only contain up to $4$ non-overlapping subcollections whose sums are $6$.

            Œ!ŒṖ§=ɗ€§FṀ


            A dyadic link accepting a list and an integer which yields the maximal count, $k$.



            Try it online! Or see the test-suite -- it's too slow for the larger test cases :(



            How?



            Œ!ŒṖ§=ɗ€§FṀ - Link: list L, integer I
            Ã…Â’! - all permutations
            € - for €ach:
            ɗ - last three links as a dyad - i.e. f(permutation, I)
            ŒṖ - partitions (all ways to slice up the permutation)
            § - sum each (vectorises at depth 1, so this gets the sums of the parts of
            - the partitions)
            = - equals? (==I) -> 1 if so 0 otherwise
            § - sum each (vectorises at depth 1, so this gets the counts of parts equal to I
            - for each partition of each permutation)
            F - flatten
            Ṁ - maximum

                        Œ!ŒṖ§=ɗ€§FṀ


                        A dyadic link accepting a list and an integer which yields the maximal count, $k$.



                        Try it online! Or see the test-suite -- it's too slow for the larger test cases :(



                        How?



                        Œ!ŒṖ§=ɗ€§FṀ - Link: list L, integer I
                        Ã…Â’! - all permutations
                        € - for €ach:
                        ɗ - last three links as a dyad - i.e. f(permutation, I)
                        ŒṖ - partitions (all ways to slice up the permutation)
                        § - sum each (vectorises at depth 1, so this gets the sums of the parts of
                        - the partitions)
                        = - equals? (==I) -> 1 if so 0 otherwise
                        § - sum each (vectorises at depth 1, so this gets the counts of parts equal to I
                        - for each partition of each permutation)
                        F - flatten
                        Ṁ - maximum
