Partition Set Into Two Subsets With Minimum Difference
Given an array of N non-negative integers, split the array into two subsets such that the absolute difference between their sums is minimized.
The task is to find the minimum absolute difference between the sums of any valid partition of the array elements.
Input:
The first line contains the integer T, representing the number of test cases.
For each test case:
- The first line contains an integer N, the number of elements in the array.
- The second line contains N space-separated integers, the elements of the array.
Output:
For each test case, return the minimum possible absolute difference between the sums of the two subsets, on a new line.
Example:
Given the array [1, 2, 3], the partition can be [1, 2] and [3] or [1, 3] and [2]. The minimum absolute difference is 0 (possible by dividing as [2] and [1, 3]).
Constraints:
1 <= T <= 10
1 <= N <= 10^3
0 <= ARR[i] <= 10^3
0 <= SUM(ARR) <= 10^4
- Time Limit: 1 second
Note:
Each element of the array should be included in exactly one subset. Subsets need not be contiguous. Implement the function to compute the desired output, no need to handle input/output operations.
