seeMovie

Language/Type: Java if/else method basics parameters

Write a method seeMovie that indicates how interested you are in seeing a movie with your friends based on its price and rating. Your method should accept two parameters: the cost of a ticket in dollars, and the number of stars the movie received out of 5. The method should print console output about how interested you are. Print either very interested, sort-of interested, or not interested, based on the following criteria:

  • You like bargains. Any movie that costs less than $5.00 is one that you are very interested in.
  • You dislike expensive movies. You are not interested in seeing any movie that costs $12.00 or more, unless it got 5 stars (and even then, you are only sort-of interested).
  • You like quality. You are very interested in seeing 5 star movies that cost under $12.00.
  • You are sort-of interested in seeing movies costing between $5.00 - $11.99 that also got between 2-4 stars inclusive.
  • You are not interested in seeing any other movies not described previously.
Method: Write a Java method as described, not a complete program or class.
