The "value per pound" greedy strategy didn't work to solve the 0-1 knapsack problem. Would the "price
per inch" greedy strategy work for the rod-cutting problem?
Price-per-Inch Strategy: Given a rod of length n, first cut off a piece of length i, where 1 <i<n,
having maximum price per inch, and then continue by applying the same strategy to the remaining piece
of length n- i.
If the above strategy always yields an optimal solution, then provide a pseudo code describing the
greedy algorithm for the rod-cutting problem. Otherwise, provide a counter example.
