Question

Write a method with the following header:

public static void showGradeDistribution(int a, int b, int c, int d,

int f)

It should print a graph (using asterisks) for each of the letters entered in the reverse order of the

parameter list and with a label. In addition, if A and B grades sum is equal or exceeds that of grades C

and D and F, the message “Strong class!” should be displayed. For example a method call of:

showGradeDistribution(5,7,4,4,3);

Would print:

A: *****

B: *******

C: ****

D: ****

F: ***

Strong class

public static void showGradeDistribution(int a, int b, int c, int d, int f) {

    System.out.print("A: ");
    for (int star = 1; star <= a; star++) System.out.print("*");

    System.out.print("\nB: ");
    for (int star = 1; star <= b; star++) System.out.print("*");

    System.out.print("\nC: ");
    for (int star = 1; star <= c; star++) System.out.print("*");

    System.out.print("\nD: ");
    for (int star = 1; star <= d; star++) System.out.print("*");

    System.out.print("\nF: ");
    for (int star = 1; star <= f; star++) System.out.print("*");
    System.out.println();

    if((a+b)>=(c+d+f)){
        System.out.println("Strong class!");
