/**
 * Class to solve the Bandwidth Allocation Problem.
 * The goal is to maximize the value gained by allocating bandwidth to users.
 * Example:
 * Bandwidth = 10
 * Users = [3, 5, 7]
 * Values = [10, 20, 30]
 * The maximum value achievable is 40 by allocating 3 units to user 0 and 7 units to user 2.

     * Allocates bandwidth to maximize value.
     * Steps:
     * 1. Calculate the ratio of value/demand for each user.
     * 2. Sort the users in descending order of the ratio.
     * 3. Allocate bandwidth to users in order of the sorted list.
     * 4. If the bandwidth is not enough to allocate the full demand of a user, allocate a fraction of the demand.
     * 5. Return the maximum value achievable.
