}
else if (price <= 100)
{
discountedPrice = price - 10;
}

Rewrite the following expressions using the conditional operator. (Assume that all variables are declared properly.)a. if (x == y)z = x + y;elsez = (x + y) / 2;b. if (hours >= 40.0)wages = 40 * 7.50 + 1.5 * 7.5 * (hours - 40);elsewages = hours * 7.50;c. if (loanAmount >= 200000)closingCosts = 10000;elseclosingCosts = 8000;
In Java, Determine if the statement has valid syntax or not. If not, fix the syntax error.
double x^y;
double amount%;
double Double y=9.5;
You will calculate the gross pay for an individual using the formula
gross pay = rate * hours
You will deduct Federal Withholding tax, State Income Tax, and Medicare tax. Use the following values:
Medicare 1%
SWT 2%
FWT 3%
Now calculate the Net Pay using the following formula:
Net Pay = Gross Pay – Medicare – SWT – FWT
Finally, you will deduct benefit amounts from the Net Pay

- C++ code A simple version of snakes and ladderImplement a game that initially asks how many players will play the game. The game will then ask the name of each player. The game is played as follows:1. The game is played iteratively. In every iteration, every player takes turn to roll a dice. The face value of dice is added to the total score of the player.2. The first player to reach 100 score gets 1st position. The second player to reach 100 score gets 2nd position.3. When a player reaches 100, he no longer remains part of the play. If current score + face value is greater than 100, then the player will retry in the next iteration, i.e., the score must exactly become 100.4. There are ladders at 20 and 60. If a player’s score becomes exactly 20, the score becomes 40. If a player’s score is exactly 60, the score becomes 75. Similarly, there are snakes at 50 and 90. If a player’s score is exactly 50, the score become 40. If a player’s score is exactly 90, the score becomes 79.5.
