Chapter of Containers and What Fits In Them

Every thing has a number called size. The size is usually 4.

Instead of inserting something (called x) into a container (called y):

if the size of x is greater than the size of y:

say "That will never fit in there.";

otherwise:

let z be 0;

now z is the empty space in y;

if the size of x is greater than z:

say "Maybe if you take something out first.";

Otherwise:

continue the action.

To decide what number is the empty space in (x - a container):

let current load be 0;

repeat with t running through all things in x:

increase current load by the size of t;

decide on (the size of x) minus current load.
