Question

We want to make a row of bricks that is goal inches long. We have a number of small bricks (1 inch each) and big bricks (5 inches each). Return true if it is possible to make the goal by choosing from the given bricks. This is a little harder than it looks and can be done without any loops.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

This is little harder than it looks and can be done without using loops. Lets take Bricks method to make a program.

Bricks ( 3 ,1 , 8)

Bricks ( 3 , 1 , 9 )

Bricks ( 3, 2 , 10 )

public  boolean Bricks ( int small , int big , int goal ) {

if (goal > big * 5 + small)

return false;

if ( goal % 5 > small)

return false:

}

OR

public  make_bricks( int small, int big, int goal):

  if (goal % 5) < =  big:  

      if (goal % 5) <= small:  

        return True

      else:  

        return False

  if (goal % 5) > = big:

      if (goal - (big*5)) <= small:

        return True

      else:

        return False
