No, you can't buy the car (at least that is what the incorrect boolean expression says.)
You have $50,000 in cash, $100,000 of credit, and $3,000 of debt. Here is how the incorrect expression is evaluated:
( cash >= 25000 || credit >= 25000 ) && debt < 1000
( true || credit >= 25000) && debt < 1000
( true ) && debt < 1000
true && false
false
The correctly grouped expression,
cash >= 25000 || ( credit >= 25000 && debt < 1000 )
immediately evaluates to true.
Here is another problem: a program screens job applicants. An applicant is accepted for an interview only if the applicant meets two conditions:
Put parentheses in this boolean expression so that it correctly tests applicants:
if ( college >= 4 && experience >= 2 || gpa > 3.5 )
System.out.println("Interview applicant");
else
System.out.println("Send resume to circular file.");
