The Motivation behind adding this problem is that it's an important problem asked in many interviews of various companies so this can help students as well as working professionals a lot.
Pitch
The 3–partition problem is a special case of the Partition Problem, which is related to the Subset Sum Problem which itself is a special case of the Knapsack Problem. The goal is to partition S into two subsets with an equal sum in the partition problem. In the 3–partition problem, the goal is to partition S into 3 subsets with an equal sum. For example,
S = { 7, 3, 2, 1, 5, 4, 8 }
We can partition S into three partitions, each having a sum of 10.
S1 = { 7, 3 } S2 = { 5, 4, 1 } S3 = { 8, 2 }
Note that there can be multiple solutions to a single set.
So can you pls /assign me this issue under #hacktoberfest label so that I can start working upon it.
