Consider the following test:

100

1 cent 99 times and 500 cents

Your solution will run up to O(2^n) in this case.

Add memo: for each state (i, sum) memoize the answer obtained so that you can get it in O(1) afterwards.

      int knap(...)

      if dp[i][sum] is already calculated

      return dp[i][sum];

      if (i == n)

      ...

      ...

      ...

      return dp[i][sum] = max(q1, q2)

      Note that there are some states that will never be reached. So my advice is to do the following thing:

      int knap(...)

      if visited[i][sum] return dp[i][sum]

      if (i == n)...

      visited[i][sum] = true

      ...

      return dp[i][sum] = max(q1, q2)
