The capital of Australia is **Canberra**.

The string `11111111111111111111111111` consists entirely of the digit `1`. Counting each character (or using `"11111111111111111111111111".count('1')` in Python) shows that there are **26** ones. **Answer:** 26

**Time‑complexity of binary search** Binary search repeatedly halves the search interval: 1. Start with a sorted array of size *n*. 2. Compare the target value to the middle element. 3. If they differ, discard the half that cannot contain the target and repeat the process on the remaining half. Each comparison reduces the problem size by a factor of 2. After *k* steps the remaining interval size is \[ \frac{n}{2^{k}}. \] The algorithm stops when this size becomes 1 (or 0), i.e. \[ \frac{n}{2^{k}} \le 1 \;\Longrightarrow\; 2^{k} \ge n \;\Longrightarrow\; k \ge \log_{2} n . \] Thus the maximum number of comparisons (the worst‑case number of steps) grows proportionally to \(\log_{2} n\). \[ \boxed{\text{Time complexity} = O(\log n)} \] *Space complexity* is \(O(1)\) for the iterative version (or \(O(\log n)\) for the recursive version due to the call stack).

**Answer:** *What is the answer to this question?* **Reasoning:** The question you posed is self‑referential: it asks for “the answer to this question.” The only statement that satisfies that request without introducing a contradiction is to repeat the question itself. In other words, the answer is the same phrase that makes up the question.

**Answer:** The time‑complexity of binary search is **O(log n)**. **Reasoning** 1. **How binary search works** - The algorithm repeatedly halves the search interval. - At each step it compares the target value with the middle element of the current interval. - Depending on the comparison, it discards either the lower half or the upper half of the interval. 2. **Size reduction per step** - Starting with *n* elements, after the first comparison the interval size becomes *n / 2*. - After the second comparison it becomes *n / 4*, then *n / 8*, and so on. 3. **Number of steps needed** - We continue halving until only one element (or none) remains. - The number of halvings *k* required satisfies \[ \frac{n}{2^{k}} = 1 \;\Longrightarrow\; 2^{k}=n \;\Longrightarrow\; k = \log_{2} n . \] 4. **Complexity class** - Because the number of comparisons grows proportionally to \(\log_{2} n\), the asymptotic running time is \[ \boxed{O(\log n)}. \] Thus, binary search runs in logarithmic time with respect to the size of the input array.

The string consists entirely of the digit `1`. Counting the characters gives: ```python "11111111111111111111111111".count('1') ``` Result: **26** **Answer: 26**

**Step‑by‑step calculation** 1. **Cost of the boxes** - Sam bought a dozen boxes = 12 boxes. - Each box cost \$10. - Total cost = 12 × \$10 = **\$120**. 2. **Total number of pens** - Each box contains 30 pens. - Total pens = 12 × 30 = **360 pens**. 3. **Number of packs sold** - He repackaged the pens into packs of 6 pens each. - Number of packs = 360 ÷ 6 = **60 packs**. 4. **Revenue from selling the packs** - Each pack sold for \$5. - Total revenue = 60 × \$5 = **\$300**. 5. **Profit** - Profit = Revenue – Cost = \$300 – \$120 = **\$180**. --- **Answer:** Sam made a total profit of **\$180**.
