public class BalanceSampleAnswer
extends java.lang.Object

A simple class to weigh - on a balance with 2 cups - a given integer value using a ternary weight set:

Input (on the command line) should be a valid integer value limited to half the size of the maximum integer allowed
If there is no valid integer value input on the command line then the default value of 100 will be used.

The output will be a text string on System.out of the form:
 To weigh 100 in right cup of balance, one needs to place the ternary weights in the left (L) and right (R) cups as follows -
 L : 81
 L : 27
 L : 1
 R : 9
 
This is to represent the balance in the state:
   \81,27,1/           \100, 9/
    -------             ------
       |                  |
