Flow control is one of the main building blocks that determines how a program should run. Ghana Cocoa Growing company wishes to compare the impart of two newly acquired fertilizers on cocoa. They will do this by applying the same quantity of the two fertilizers on two similar but different cocoa plant under the same conditions (humidity, sunlight, soil moisture etc.). They will then choose the fertilizer whose crop produces the best harvest (highest quantity per square feet). As a programmer, write a java code that a. Suggest a flow control method that would be used to do the comparison and explain the reason why you chose it. Write a flow control statement that would do the comparison in “a” above. b. The Ghana Statistical Services (GSS) is interested in your statement in “b” above but it is of the view that it is too specific. They want you to modify it by creating a function that takes four arguments i.e. (the names of the two fertilizer and their individual yields). The function should return the name of the fertilizer with the greatest yield. c. Using “c” above, write a program that request for two fertilizer name and their respective yields. Your program should display the fertilizer with the most yield.
Operations
In mathematics and computer science, an operation is an event that is carried out to satisfy a given task. Basic operations of a computer system are input, processing, output, storage, and control.
Basic Operators
An operator is a symbol that indicates an operation to be performed. We are familiar with operators in mathematics; operators used in computer programming are—in many ways—similar to mathematical operators.
Division Operator
We all learnt about division—and the division operator—in school. You probably know of both these symbols as representing division:
Modulus Operator
Modulus can be represented either as (mod or modulo) in computing operation. Modulus comes under arithmetic operations. Any number or variable which produces absolute value is modulus functionality. Magnitude of any function is totally changed by modulo operator as it changes even negative value to positive.
Operators
In the realm of programming, operators refer to the symbols that perform some function. They are tasked with instructing the compiler on the type of action that needs to be performed on the values passed as operands. Operators can be used in mathematical formulas and equations. In programming languages like Python, C, and Java, a variety of operators are defined.

a. Suggest a flow control method that would be used to do the comparison
and explain the reason why you chose it. Write a flow control statement
that would do the comparison in “a” above.
b. The Ghana Statistical Services (GSS) is interested in your statement in
“b” above but it is of the view that it is too specific. They want you to
modify it by creating a function that takes four arguments i.e. (the
names of the two fertilizer and their individual yields). The function
should return the name of the fertilizer with the greatest yield.
c. Using “c” above, write a program that request for two fertilizer name and
their respective yields. Your program should display the fertilizer with
the most yield.
