 Longest-processing-time-first scheduling

Longest-Processing-Time-First (LPT) scheduling is a type of scheduling algorithm used primarily in operations research and computer science to allocate resources or schedule jobs based on their processing times. The fundamental principle of LPT is to prioritize tasks based on their duration, specifically scheduling the longest tasks first. **Key Characteristics of LPT Scheduling:** 1. **Prioritization**: Tasks are sorted by their processing times in descending order.
