Instructions

For this assignment, you will write a program to calculate the tuition cost to take classes at APSU. As per https://www.apsu.edu/student-account-services/tuition_and_fees/index.php (Date Accessed: January 9, 2023), the total tuition cost to attend APSU is calculated based on the following breakdown-

Undergraduate Tuition:

In-State Undergraduate tuition is $284 per credit hour for hours 1-12, per semester. A discounted rate of $55 per credit hour is offered for hours 13 and above, per semester.

Undergraduate Out-of-State tuition is $515 per credit hour for hours 1-12, per semester. There are no additional Out-of-State charges for hours above 12 but you will pay the $55 per credit hour for Undergraduate tuition for hours 13 and above, per semester.

Graduate Tuition:

Graduate tuition is $457 per credit hour for hours 1-10, per semester. A discounted rate of $88 per credit hour is offered for hours 11 and above, per semester.

Graduate Out-of-State tuition is $734 per credit hour for hours 1-10, per semester. There are no additional Out-of-State charges for hours above 10 but you will pay the $88 per credit hour for Graduate tuition for hours 11 and above, per semester.

For this assignment, you must use the rules above to calculate the tuition cost given a students study level, residency status, and no of credit hours he/she will be taking. Your program must do the following:

1. Display a welcome message with your name in it.

2. Prompt the user for the level of study (undergrad or grad).

3. Prompt the user for the residency status (in-state or out-state).

4. Repeatedly prompt the user for the no of credit hours he is registering until the user enters a valid value- between 1 and 18 for undergrad and between 1 and 15 for grad.

5. Display the total tuition cost using the credit hours amount that the user entered in step 4.

6. Ask the user if they want to calculate another tuition cost.

7. If the user enters yes, go back to step 2.

8. If the user enters no, display a thank you message and exit the program.

You can match your program output with Table 1 and Table 2 data .

Helpful Hints

This assignment is more complicated than previous assignments, so it is a good idea to implement and test it incrementally.

Start by implementing the prompts for input without any input validation.

Next, determine the logic of how to break down the tuition cost calculation into individual cases and implement that.

Write code to output the result.

Test your code with multiple cases to make sure it works.

Add in input validation for the credit hours amount.

Test your code to make sure the input validation works.

Add the code that repeats the process if the user enters yes.

Test your code to make sure users can calculate tuition costs for multiple cases.

Notes and Comments

Upload your Java source file to the dropbox named Assignment 3. The name of the source file must be your last name followed by Assign3 with the extension .java. For example, mine would be HasanAssign3.java.

Make sure to include comments with your name, a description of what the program does, the course (CSCI 1010), and the assignment name (Assignment 3) at the beginning of your source file.

Make sure you only hand in the source file for your assignment, not the class file, or any other files that NetBeans creates.

Your programs must compile without errors in order to be graded. Once your program compiles make sure to test it using multiple test cases to see if it meets the requirements of the assignment.
