Chapter 4.1, Problem 11SCP

Explanation of Solution

Given code snippet:

//initialize the required variable

int sum=1000;

//create an object

Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);

//print the statement

System.out.print("Is your money multiplied 1 or 2 times? ");

//The input provided by user is stored in times

int times = console.nextInt();

//condition initialized to check whether the value of times is equal to 1

if (times == 1) {

    //print the statement

    System.out.print("And how much are you contributing? ");

    //The input provided by user is stored in donation

    int donation = console.nextInt();

    //evaluate the values and store in sum and total

    sum =sum + donation;

    //increment the variable

    count1++;

    total= total + donation;

}

//condition initialized to check whether the value of times is equal to 2

if (times == 2)

{

    //print the statement

    System.out.print("And how much are you contributing? ");

    //The input provided by user is stored in donation

    int donation = console.nextInt();

    //evaluate the values and store in sum and total

    sum = sum + 2 * donation;

    //increment the variable

    count2++;

    total= total + donation;

}

Error in the above code:

• In the given code snippet, the variable is declared in separate scopes but for same purpose...
