The shipping charges per 500 miles is not prorated. for example, if a 2 pound package is shipped 550 miles, the charges would be $2.20. write code that calculates the shipping charge based on user input.

See code and explanation below.

Explanation:

Assuming this complete problem: "Shipping Charges The Fast Freight Shipping Company charges the following rates: Weight of Package Rate per 500 Miles Shipped 2 pounds or less $1.10 Over 2 pounds but not more than 6 pounds $2.20 Over 6 pounds but not more than 10 pounds $3.70 Over 10 pounds $3.80 The shipping charges per 500 miles are not prorated. For example, if a 2-pound package is shipped 550 miles, the charges would be $2.20. Write a program that asks the user to enter the weight of a package and then displays the shipping charges. "

For this case we can create the following Java code:

// Java Scanner to take regular expressions

import java.util.Scanner;

// Definition of the variables

class Main {

 public static void main(String[] args) {

   Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

   //INPUT S : we define the weigth and the charge based on the weigth

   double pound, shipCharge, total;

   final double weightCharge1=1.10, weightCharge2=2.20, weightCharge3=3.70, weightCharge4=3.80;

   //OUTPUT S: We ask for the weigth and would be stored on pound variable

// We define the if conidtion based on the restrictions given

   System.out.print("Enter the package weight(lbs):");

   pound=input.nextDouble();

   //Complete the remain conditions

   if(pound>=0.01 && pound<=2){

     shipCharge=pound*weightCharge1;

   }

   else if(pound>=2.01 && pound<=6){

     shipCharge=pound*weightCharge2;

   }

   else if(pound>=6.01 && pound<=10){

     shipCharge=pound*weightCharge3;

   }

   else if(pound>=10.01){

     shipCharge=pound*weightCharge4;

   }

   else{

     shipCharge=-1;

   }  

   //OUTPUT: We print the final solution and if we have an error we ask for other value for the input

   System.out.println();

   if(shipCharge!=-1){

     total=shipCharge;

     System.out.printf("The Weight is: %,.2f lbs\n",pound);

     System.out.printf("The total Shipping Charge: $%,.2f\n",total);

   }

// Invalid case

   else

     System.out.println("Invalid input, must enter a value higher than 0.01");

 }

}
