14. Choose the correct statement to complete a code fragment that asks the user to input
a number from 1 to 100 (inclusive), and returns that numbers square root. If the
number is not in the specified range, the code prints out an error message.

"Enter a number between 1 and 100")
if ( ____________ ) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Invalid data");

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Sqrt of num = " +
Math.sqrt(num));
1 <= num <= 100
num < 1 && num < 100

num < 1 && num > 100
15. List the Boolean operators for
A. and ___&&_____
B. not ___!_____
C. or
___||_____
16. (10) Using the Scanner class write a code fragment that asks the user to input his or
her age. If the age is under 16, the program should respond that the user is not old
enough to drive. If the user is at least 16 but not 18, the program will respond that the
user is old enough to drive, but not old enough to vote. If the age is at least 18, the
program should respond that the user is old enough to drive and to vote. If the age is
older than 65, the response should be that the user is old enough to be on Medicare.
Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in);
int age;
System.out.print("Enter your age: ");
age = scan.nextInt();
if (age < 16)
System.out.println("Not old enough to drive.");
else
if (age < 18)
System.out.println("Old enough to drive, not to vote.");
else {
System.out.println("Old enough to drive and to vote.");
if (age > 65)
System.out.println("Old enough to be on Medicare.");
}
