Re: Packaging Algorithm

[blogan]

I'm trying to think of an algorithm, and this is what I've gotten so far:

foreach (@closefamilymember) {
  $gift = perfectgift $_;
  buy($gift);
  push @boughtengifts, $gift;
}
foreach (@boughtengifts) {
  $box->pack($_);
}

foreach (@notsoclosemember) {
  $gift = perfectgift $_;
  if (!box->pack($gift)) {
      $gift = giftthatwillfitinfreespace $_;
      $box->pack($gift);
  }
}

box->mail();
