The first being easier
I gotta go finish my chem and math homework though and eat dinner with the homies I'll be back later tonight
Meaning that you want the to know how many total blocks you need to build, say, 23 steps? Or you want to know # of blocks under a *specific* step? Are you assuming the length/height of the step is a fixed postitive integer value (i.e. I can't stack blocks staggered over 1/2 a step & the block size is constant).
