Given a int variable named callsReceived and another int variable named operatorsOnCall write the necessary code to read values into callsReceived and operatorsOnCall and print out the number of calls received per operator (integer division with truncation will do).

Given a int variable named callsReceived and another int variable named operatorsOnCall write the necessary code to read values into callsReceived and operatorsOnCall and print out the number of calls received per operator (integer division with truncation will do). HOWEVER: if any value read in is not valid input, just print the message "INVALID". ASSUME the availability of a variable , stdin, that references a Scanner object associated with standard input.

Write some code that reads the String (S or T or B) that the user types in into a String variable choice that has already been declared and prints out a recommended accompanying drink as follows: if the value of age is 21 or lower, the recommendation is "vegetable juice" for steak, "cranberry juice" for trout, and "soda" for the burger. Otherwise, the recommendations are "cabernet", "chardonnay", and "IPA" for steak, trout, and burger respectively. Regardless of the value of age, your code should print "invalid menu selection" if the character read into choice was not S or T or B. ASSUME the availability of a variable , stdin, that references a Scanner object associated with standard input.
choice = stdin.next(); if (choice.equals("S")){ if (age <= 21) System.out.println("vegetable juice"); else System.out.println("cabernet"); }else if (choice.equals("T")){ if (age <= 21) System.out.println("cranberry juice"); else System.out.println("chardonnay"); }else if (choice.equals("B")){ if (age <= 21) System.out.println("soda"); else System.out.println("IPA"); }else System.out.println("invalid menu selection");
