    Question How to calculate the highest possible combination of variables?

    I'm pretty new to coding, but I really enjoy it and had an idea that I want to figure out. Basically, I play this fantasy sports game where each user is granted $100 and a price tag is given to every player, according to how good they are. What I'm hoping to accomplish is to create a formula that assigns all the players I'm considering a value, depending on how likely they are to get me points, and then for the program to calculate the highest possible team value that doesn't exceed $100.

    How would I be able to code a program that runs through every possible combination of variables, and then spits out the one that will get me the high value?

    Thanks

    Before trying to code any program you need to work out an algorithm that solves the problem.
    Given a working algorithm, then try coding the program in java.

    Do you have an algorithm that solves the problem?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
