Question

Complete method printPopcornTime(), with int parameter bagOunces, and void return type. If bagOunces is less than 3, print "Too small". If greater than 10, print "Too large". Otherwise, compute and print 6 * bagOunces followed by "seconds". End with a newline. Example output for ounces = 7:

42 seconds

import java.util.Scanner;

public class PopcornTimer {
public void printPopcornTime(int bagOunces) {

/* Your solution goes here */

}

public static void main (String [] args) {
PopcornTimer popcornBag = new PopcornTimer();
popcornBag.printPopcornTime(7);
}
}

Answer in JAVA where it says solution goes here

Answer 1

The complete Java source code is given below.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class PopcornTimer
{
    public void printPopcornTime(int bagOunces)
    {
        //if loop to check whether bagOunces value is less than 3 or not
        //if it is true, then if stmt will execute otherwise else part will execute
        if(bagOunces<3)
            System.out.println("Too small");    //print a message
        else
        {   System.out.print(6*bagOunces+" seconds\n");     //print the output
          
        }
    }

    public static void main (String [] args)
    {
        PopcornTimer popcornBag = new PopcornTimer();
        popcornBag.printPopcornTime(7);
    }
}

If the indendations are not clear, then please refer the screenshot of the code given below.

The screenshot of the output is also given below.

Explanation

• The printPopcornTime function takes an argument bagOunces which is an integer.
• There are two conditions as per the problem. So, an if else statement can be used. If the "if" condition is true, then the statements under it will get executed and the else part will be ignored completely. But if the "if" condition is false, then the statements under the else gets executed.
• If the value of bagOunces is less than 3, then a message "Too small" will be displayed using the println function.
• If the above condition was not satisfied, then it will print the value 6 * bagOunces and a "seconds" message will be also displayed.
