Part 1 of 2:  This is a Full Contest.  Work as teams.  Good luck!

Note:  you must start from a blank compiler (not EmptyProgram.java!).

For this contest, use the problem set from the official SRU 2002 Programming Contest.

Part 2 of 2:  This is a Quick Contest.  (though you may work as teams this time..)

Note:  you must start from a blank compiler (not EmptyProgram.java!).

Q1.  Read in lines full of words and numbers separated by spaces and/or newlines, and ending with an end-of-file.  Print out the longest word and the largest number.
        Sample Input:
                        hi 22    this is 3.4
                        some 105.8 sample data 6
        Sample Output:
                        sample 105.8

Q2.  Read in lines starting with a string followed by space-separated integers (terminated by end-of-file).  Print out each line in sorted order, where the string dictates the sort order ("lo" for low-to-high and "hi" for high-to-low).  Note:  you must use java.util.Arrays.sort for this problem.
        Sample Input:
                        hi 2 8 3 1 4
                        lo 2 8 3 1 4
                        lo 5 4
        Sample Output:
                        8 4 3 2 1
                        1 2 3 4 8
                        4 5

Q3.   Repeat Q2, only this time the numbers are comma-separated, (though still preceded by a space after "hi" or "lo") and you must use a "four-line" sort, not Arrays.sort.
        Sample Input:
                        hi 2,8,3,1,4
                        lo 2,8,3,1,4
                        lo 5,4
        Sample Output:
                        8 4 3 2 1
                        1 2 3 4 8
                        4 5

Q4.   Read in expressions, one per line (until end-of-file), of the form a op b op c ..., and print out the value of the expressions, rounded to the nearest tenth, when the operators are applied in left-to-right order (so 2+3*4 evaluates to 5*4 not 2+12).  The operators will be +, -, *, or /.
        Sample Input:
                        1 + 2 * 1.5 - 4
                        1 / 3
        Sample Output:
                        0.5
                        0.3

Q5.  Read in words on lines (ending with end-of-file) and print out the word on each line with the most spaces preceding it.
        Sample Input:
                        this is a     test
                        this        is also  a   test
        Sample Output:
                        test
                        is
