Community Food Pantry

A community food pantry has received a donation of several snack bags of various weights. You are tasking with distributing these bags to a local shelter. However, your transport box has a strict weight limit W. You want to include as many individual snack bags as possible to ensure more people get a snack. Input Format: Line 1: An integer W representing the weight capacity of the box. Line 2: A series of space-separated integers representing the weight of each snack bag. Output Format: Print a single integer representing the maximum number of snack bags that can fit in the box. Example: Input: 20 5 10 3 8 2 Output: 4 (Explanation: Choosing bags with weights 2, 3, 5, and 8 sums to 18, which is <= 20. Adding the 10 would exceed the limit.)
