+# Instructions
+
+In this exercise, let's try to solve a classic problem.
+
+Bob is a thief.
+After months of careful planning, he finally manages to crack the security systems of a high-class apartment.
+
+In front of him are many items, each with a value (v) and weight (w).
+Bob, of course, wants to maximize the total value he can get; he would gladly take all of the items if he could.
+However, to his horror, he realizes that the knapsack he carries with him can only hold so much weight (W).
+
+Given a knapsack with a specific carrying capacity (W), help Bob determine the maximum value he can get from the items in the house.
+Note that Bob can take only one of each item.
+
+All values given will be strictly positive.
+Items will be represented as a list of items.
+Each item will have a weight and value.
+
+For example:
+
+```none
+Items: [
+  { "weight": 5, "value": 10 },
+  { "weight": 4, "value": 40 },
+  { "weight": 6, "value": 30 },
+  { "weight": 4, "value": 50 }
+]
+
+Knapsack Limit: 10
+```
+
+For the above, the first item has weight 5 and value 10, the second item has weight 4 and value 40, and so on.
+
+In this example, Bob should take the second and fourth item to maximize his value, which, in this case, is 90.
+He cannot get more than 90 as his knapsack has a weight limit of 10.
