SUBSET - Balanced Cow Subsets
Farmer John's owns N cows (2 ≤ N ≤ 20), where cow i produces M(i) units of milk each day (1 ≤ M(i) ≤ 100,000,000).
FJ wants to streamline the process of milking his cows every day, so he installs a brand new milking machine in his barn.
Unfortunately, the machine turns out to be far too sensitive: it only works properly if the cows on the left side of the barn have the exact same total milk output as the cows on the right side of the barn!
Let us call a subset of cows "balanced" if it can be partitioned into two groups having equal milk output.
Since only a balanced subset of cows can make the milking machine work, FJ wonders how many subsets of his N cows are balanced.
Please help him compute this quantity.
Input
- Line 1: The integer N.
- Lines 2..1+N: Line i+1 contains M(i).
Output
- Line 1: The number of balanced subsets of cows.
Sample
Input 4 1 2 3 4 Output 3
Explanation
There are 4 cows, with milk outputs 1, 2, 3, and 4.
There are three balanced subsets: the subset {1, 2, 3}, which can be partitioned into {1, 2} and {3}, the subset {1, 3, 4}, which can be partitioned into {1, 3} and {4}, and the subset {1, 2, 3, 4} which can be partitioned into {1, 4} and {2, 3}.

How can it solve since for generating subset 2^n time complexity is required and for check subset of a subset another 2^n time complexity please reply for less time complexity approach Last edit: 2014-09-27 07:38:39 |

can it be solved without generating all subsets?? |

Read the problem statement carefully. We are looking for a number of distict subsets that can be partitioned. We are NOT looking for number of different valid partitions.

Please add like breaks. The lines are really long in some browsers (chrome, IE). Also see my comments for SUBSTATE problem.
