Question

5) Create the following in a Java program

Create a scanner
Prompt the user to enter the name where the box of mail is shipping from and create the variable and relate to scanner
Prompt the user to enter the name of destination where the box of mail will be shipped and create the variable and relate to scanner
Prompt the user to enter the weight of the package and create variable to relate to scanner
Calculate cost of shipping
If the weight of box of mail is above 50 the box cannot not be shipped
inside of else create double variable where is called cost of pound
then you do more condition where if weight is between o and 1 cost of pound is 3.5
then if weight is less equal to 3 cost of pound is 5.5
then if weight is less equal to 10 cost of pound is 8.5
everything else cost of pound is 10.5
Display inside of condition shipping cost by multiplying cost of pound with weight

Code:

import java.util.*;

public class ShippingCostCalculator
{
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);
      //read from where shipping is happening
                System.out.print("Enter the name where the box of mail is shipping from: ");
                String from = scnr.nextLine();
                
      //read where shipping is going
                System.out.print("Enter the name of destination where the box of mail will be shipped: ");
                String to = scnr.nextLine();
                
      //read the weight of the package
                System.out.print("Enter the weight of the package: ");
                int weight = scnr.nextInt();
                
                if (weight > 50) 
                    System.out.println("Box can not be shipped"); //if weight is above 50, can't ship
                else{
         
                    double costOfPound =0.0;
          //now calculate the cost of pound
                    if(weight ==0 || weight == 1)
                        costOfPound = 3.5;
                    else if(weight <= 3)
                        costOfPound = 5.5;
                    else if(weight <= 10)
                        costOfPound = 8.5;
                    else
                        costOfPound = 10.5;
                    //print the shipping cost
                    System.out.printf("Shipping Cost: $%.2f\n", costOfPound * weight);
                        
                }
                
        }
}
