Question 4 (Convert flowchart to Java program) [10]
The flowchart below illustrates a program that calculates and displays the square root
of three divided by a given integer number. However, before performing the
calculation, you need to check if the input value is valid to avoid undefined results.
Figure out what the condition should be and write the Java code that implements this
chart.

start

"Enter an integer number: "

iNum

is___________? True

False

𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 = √3/𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖𝑖 "Error! Calculation not possible."


𝑟𝑟𝑟

"The answer is: " + rAns

end

Question 6 (Problem solving with Java programs) [20]
TV Purchase Finance Calculator
You have been assigned the task of creating a program that helps customers choose
a TV and provides them with information about instalment plans. The program will
present customers with three TV options of different sizes, along with their prices. The
customers will choose an option by selecting the corresponding letter. Your program
should validate the choice, calculate the monthly instalment, and display the credit
price after interest. Interest charged at 74.15%.
Program Requirements:
Write a Java program that meets the following requirements:
• Use the DecimalFormat class to format currency values and escape sequences
for alignment and spaces.
• Declare constants to store the prices of three TV options. This ensures that any
changes made to the value of a constant will automatically be reflected in all
displays and calculations.
• Display the TV options to the user:

• Read the letter from the user to select a TV.


• Use if statements (without else) to select the correct TV's price based on the
user's choice.
• Use an if-else statement to validate if the choice is not valid (not A, B, or C),
display the message:

• The program should only accept uppercase letters as valid. Lowercase should
be treated as invalid.

• If the choice is valid, calculate the monthly instalment amount and the total
credit price. The total credit amount financed, includes the original TV price
plus the interest amount is spread out over 24 months in instalments.
