(Java) If-Else (Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale Calculator)

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 rating based on a hurricane's sustained wind speed. This scale estimates potential property damage. Hurricanes reaching Category 3 and higher are considered major hurricanes because of their potential for significant loss of life and damage. Category 1 and 2 storms are still dangerous, however, and require preventative measures. The Saffir-Simpson Scale is defined in the following table: Category | Sustained Winds 1 | 74 windSpeed < 96 mph 2 | 96 windSpeed < 111 mph 3 | 111 windSpeed < 130 mph 4 | 130 windSpeed < 157 mph 5 | windSpeed of 157 mph or higher Your program must calculate the scale of the hurricane described by the user's input, which will be given in km/h and not in mph. Thus, you must transform it to mph before assigning the scale (1 km/h corresponds to .62 mph). Finally, your code needs to print in console the following message: " __ mph is classified as __ in the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale" (completing the missing blank with the respective speed in mph and the scale), and the message "__ mph does not qualify as hurricane" in case the sustained wind speed specified by the user is lower than 74 mph (completing the missing blank with the respective speed in mph). Examples of input/output: E.g. Enter hurricane's sustained wind speed (in km/hr): 30 | Output in console: "18.6 mph does not qualify as hurricane" E.g. Enter hurricane's sustained wind speed (in km/hr): 199 | Output in console: "123.38 mph is classified as 3 in the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale"
