i need to make a program that seems pretty crazy it needs to have unset numbers and can calculate well. Its for a warehouse to manage the inventory so that we save space and manage the products efficiently. How many we can stack and if we should lay the package up or down. The dimentions will change and the ware house size will also change over time if we expand. So they all have to be values that the program has to calculate.

Unless you are given decent specifications/requirements for the program, you can not develop one.

Have you ever done any Java/C++ programming before? It doesn't seem too hard really, you'd just have to be able to change building dimensions and package. The tricky part would be calculating the space requirements for the different size boxes. As EagleKeeper mentioned, you'll need concrete specs on how the boxes are to be stored, can different sizes be stacked together, etc.

Provide the actual programming specs, not just an idea.

Rules need to be created and/or procedures listed.

Think of as if the program will just do what a human would do, but faster.

Provide the training instructions for the human Newbie and you may get some help.

well ok i have to figure out how many boxes can fit in a space how many we can stack up kinda like drawing a diagram and the dimentions and where to put what in the center we should have a walking space enought to move the things around the program has to adjust to the warehouse dimentions and the box dimentions.
