In the 0/1 Knapsack problem, what does the '0/1' signify?
Step 1: Understand that the 0/1 Knapsack problem involves a set of items, each with a weight and a value.
Step 2: The '0/1' indicates that for each item, you have two choices: either take the item (represented by 1) or do not take the item (represented by 0).
Step 3: This means you cannot take a fraction of an item or take the same item more than once.
Step 4: The goal is to maximize the total value of the items you can carry in the knapsack without exceeding its weight limit.
