Hi,
I want to write a program for camel banana puzzle:

A Camel has to transport 2000 bananas from point A to point B, both 1000km apart. There are few constraints
There is only one Camel.
Camel can not carry more than 1000 bananas at one time.
Camel eats one banana every kilometer when he travels.
Also half km camel can walk without food.Using this logic at the maximum how many
bananas can transport to A to B.
What is the maximum number of bananas which can be transported from point-A to point-B.
Don't use normal calculation method.
Half km camel can walk without food.Using Optimal Persuasion technique,at the maximum how many bananas can transport to A to B.

What I have tried:

I don't know about that.I know only the normal calculation method,but this case half km camel can walk without food,so first forward move of half km no need to give food.
after that i got confused.But most of the MNC companies are followed by this optimal persuasion method for minimum budget and maximum profit.

The camel/banana problem traditionally involves 3000 bananas - I'm almost certain that there's no solution if there are only 2000.

So start by researching the Optimal Persuasion technique as the question tells you to do.
Once you understand it, it should be fairly simple for you to implement as a program.

But ... We do not do your homework: it is set for a reason. It is there so that you think about what you have been told, and try to understand it. It is also there so that your tutor can identify areas where you are weak, and focus more attention on remedial action.

Try it yourself, you may find it is not as difficult as you think!

If you meet a specific problem, then please ask about that and we will do our best to help. But we aren't going to do it all for you!

We do not do your HomeWork.
HomeWork is not set to test your skills at begging other people to do your work, it is set to make you think and to help your teacher to check your understanding of the courses you have taken and also the problems you have at applying them.
Any failure of you will help your teacher spot your weaknesses and set remedial actions.
So, give it a try, reread your lessons and start working. If you are stuck on a specific problem, show your code and explain this exact problem, we might help.

As programmer, your job is to create algorithms that solve specific problems and you can't rely on someone else to eternally do it for you, so there is a time where you will have to learn how to. And the sooner, the better.
When you just ask for the solution, it is like trying to learn to drive a car by having someone else training.
Creating an algorithm is basically finding the maths and make necessary adaptation to fit your actual problem.
