Hey Everybody,
I am trying to distribute a certain value over a random period of time. To clarify more ,
Suppose I want to distribute product x over 30 days. I have 1500 items of product x that has to be distributed over 30 days randomly. There is a restriction on the number of items that can be distributed over 1 day i.e.max 60.
I have been trying to scratch out something but am really unsucessful with this problem. I am really new to programming so it would be a real help if somebody could point me to the right approach.
Thank you guys !
EDIT : As an addendum, if I have more than 1 items to be distributed (like suppose there are x,y and z) with different values (ex. 1500, 1000, 900) and there is a limitation on how many items can be distributed on a particular day (max 150 per day) will this logic still work or should I look at something new. Also, should there be a check, like suppose 100 of x, 20 of y and 30 of z are distributed, then subtract the value (for the next day I have 1400 of x, 980 of y and 870 of z available for distribution) as this will change the permutation values ?
