Tony Stark wants to build a 1000 meter high tower as quickly as possible. He has unlimited resources and an unlimited budget and is willing to spend any amount to get the job done. He has chosen to build the tower with blocks that are 100 meters long and 100 meters wide, but only 1 meter tall. The blocks interlock on top and bottom (like legos). They cannot be stacked sideways.

Using special lifters, putting one block on top of another block takes one week. Putting a stack of up to 100 blocks on top of another stack of 100 or less also takes a week. If either stack is more than 100, it takes two weeks.

What is the shortest amount of time that it will take to build the tower?

Suppose s, t, and w are strings that have already been created inside main. write a statement or statements, to be added to main, that will determine if the lengths of the three strings are in order by length, smallest to largest. that is, your code should determine if s is strictly shorter than t, and if t is strictly shorter than w. if these conditions hold your code should print (the boolean value) true. if not, your code should print false. (strictly means: no ties) example: if s, t, and w are "cat", "hats", and "skies" your code should print true - their lengths are 3-4-5; but if s, t, and w are "cats" "shirt", and "trust", then print false - their lengths are 4-5-5 enter your code in the box below

This question involves a class named textfile that represents a text file. public class textfile { private string filename; private string filename; private arraylist words; // constructors not shown // postcondition: returns the number of bytes in this file public int filesize() { } // precondition: 0 < = index < words. size() // postcondition: removes numwords words from the words arraylist beginning at // index. public void deletewords(int index, int numwords) { } // precondition: 0 < = index < = words. size() // postcondition: adds elements from newwords array to words arraylist beginning // at index. pub lic voidaddwords(int index, string[] newwords) { } // other methods not shown } complete the filesize() method. the filesize() is computed in bytes. in a text file, each character in each word counts as one byte. in addition, there is a space in between each word in the words arraylist, and each of those spaces also counts as one byte. for example, suppose the words arraylist stores the following words: { mary had a little lamb; its fleece was white as snow. } the filesize() method would compute 4 + 3 + 1 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 6 + 3 + 5 + 2 + 5 as the sum of the lengths of each string in the arraylist. the value returned would be this sum plus 10, because there would also be 10 spaces in between the 11 words. complete the filesize() method below: // postcondition: returns the number of bytes in this file public int filesize() { }
