Question

Write a program in a class FlowerCounter that computes the cost of each type of flower sold by the dozen.

There are 7 flower types. They are "Roses", "Magnolia", "Azalea", "Star Jasmine", "Gardenia", "Zinnia", "Lily". There is a unique cost for each flower by the dozen. The Roses are the most expensive and the Lily is the least expensive. You may come up with your own prices.

Create an array of strings that holds the names of the flowers.

Create another array that holds the cost of each corresponding flower.

Your program should allow the user to select from a menu list of flowers.

Your program should ask the user "How many dozen would you like to purchase?"

Locate the flower in the name array and use that index to find the cost per dozen in the cost array.

Compute and print the total cost of sale.

This should be a full program.

public class FlowerCounter {

   /**

   */
   public static void main(String[] args) {
       // TODO Auto-generated method stub

       Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
       String flowerTypes[] = { "Roses", "Magnolia", "Azalea", "Star Jasmine",
               "Gardenia", "Zinnia", "Lily" };
       double flowerCosts[] = { 60.22, 58.65, 55.65, 53.54, 50.87, 40.56,
               35.21 };
       double totalCost = 0.0;
       System.out.println(" Flower Type Cost");
       for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++) {

           System.out.println((i + 1) + ". " + flowerTypes[i] + " "
                   + flowerCosts[i]);

       }
       System.out.print("select from a menu list of flowers:");
       int ch = scanner.nextInt();

       System.out.print("How many dozen would you like to purchase?");
       int noOfDozens = scanner.nextInt();

       totalCost = flowerCosts[ch - 1] * noOfDozens;

       System.out.println("total cost of sale $" + totalCost);

   }
}

OUTPUT:

Flower Type   Cost
1. Roses   60.22
2. Magnolia   58.65
3. Azalea   55.65
4. Star Jasmine   53.54
5. Gardenia   50.87
6. Zinnia   40.56
7. Lily   35.21
