How can I get final bin size with javascript growing bin packing algorithm?

You can use a growing algorithm and you can grow the bin to the left or to the right: http://codeincomplete.com/posts/2011/5/7/bin_packing .

I eventually figured it out. I added two lines to findNode().

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
