Question
The video game machines at your local arcade output coupons according to how well you play the game. You can redeem 10 coupons for a candy bar or 3 coupons for a gumball. You prefer candy bars to gumballs. Write a program that defines a variable initially assigned to the number of coupons you win. Next, the program should output how many candy bars and gumballs you can get if you spend all of your coupons on candy bars first, and any remaining coupons on gumballs.
Answer
Program:
// CouponsDistribution.java
public class CouponsDistribution
{
public static final int COUPONS_PER_CANDYBAR = 10;
public static final int COUPONS_PER_GUMBALL = 3;
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int numbeOfCouponsWin = 37;
int numberOfCandybars = numbeOfCouponsWin / COUPONS_PER_CANDYBAR;
int remainingCoupons = numbeOfCouponsWin % COUPONS_PER_CANDYBAR;
int numberOfGumballs = remainingCoupons / COUPONS_PER_GUMBALL;
remainingCoupons = remainingCoupons % COUPONS_PER_GUMBALL;
System.out.println("Number of coupons win: " + numbeOfCouponsWin);
System.out.println("Number of candy bars get: " + numberOfCandybars);
System.out.println("Number of gumballs get: " + numberOfGumballs);
System.out.println("Number of remaining coupons: " + remainingCoupons);
}
}
Output:
Number of coupons win: 37
Number of candy bars get: 3
Number of gumballs get: 2
Number of remaining coupons: 1
