Question

A large rectangular packaging container holds n columns by m rows by k stack of cube shaped packages as shown below. Each box can hold maximum 7 items.

1. Develop a program which will perform the following: a. Accept from the user the values for n, m and k in the following range 3<=n<=6, 2<=m<=5 and 3<=k<=6

b. Define a 3D array n by m by k which represents the container.

c. Fill the array with random numbers that represents the number of items in each box.

d. Calculate upon request one of the following:

a. The total number of items in a certain stack of boxes.

b. The total number of items in a certain raw (m)

c. The number of items in a certain box

d. How many boxes have a certain number of items (e.g. how many boxes have 4 items in them)

e. Total number of items stored in the container.

Print the corresponding results
