        System.out.println("Total usage: Rs." + (int) userAmount);
        System.out.println("Tax (11.5%): Rs." + (int) tax);
        System.out.println("-------------------------------------");

}

Explanation of Corrections:

1. Program Structure: Ensured the program has a main method that serves as the entry point.
2. Sample Data: Provided sample customer details and meter readings as variables.
3. Conditions and Calculations:
   • Validated that the old reading is not greater than the current reading.
   • Calculated unitsUsed, userAmount, tax, and bill correctly.
4. Printing Statements: Corrected the print statements to ensure they display the correct data.

Now, you can compile and run this program to see the output for the given sample data. You can replace the sample data with actual inputs to generate bills for different customers.
