Minimum Sum Partition

S
package com.thealgorithms.dynamicprogramming;

import java.util.Arrays;

/*
Given an array of non-negative integers , partition the array in two subset that
difference in sum of elements for both subset minimum.
Return the minimum difference in sum of these subsets you can achieve.

Input:  array[] = {1, 6, 11, 4}
Output: 0
Explanation:
Subset1 = {1, 4, 6}, sum of Subset1 = 11
Subset2 = {11}, sum of Subset2 = 11

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