Although knowledge of recursion is not strictly necessary for Bronze, we think that it makes more sense to include this module as part of Bronze rather than Silver. Focus Problem – try your best to solve this problem before continuing! good explanation + code, no need to repeat Since 𝑛 ≤ 20 n≤20, we can solve this by trying all possible divisions of 𝑛 n apples into two sets and finding the one with the minimum difference in weights. Here are two ways to do this. The first method would be to write a recursive function which searches over all possibilities. At some index, we either add weight 𝑖 weight i ​ to the first set or the second set, storing two sums sum 1 sum 1 ​ and sum 2 sum 2 ​ with the sum of values in each set. Then
