In this blog post, we’ll delve into the details of distributing items in bins to a set of orders. Background: Python and Pandas Libraries To solve this problem, we’ll be using the popular Python programming language and its libraries.

Introduction to Object-Relational Mapping and Converting DataTables to Class Objects As a developer, we often encounter scenarios where we need to work with data stored in databases. The database may have specific table structures, field names, and data types that don’t always match the structure of our application’s model. In such cases, converting data from the database into objects that fit our model can be a challenging task. One common solution is to use object-relational mapping (ORM) technologies like Entity Framework or NHibernate.
