Expected Output:

Program Code

import java.util.Scanner;

public class SpecialSale {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

        System.out.print("Enter purchase amount (?): ");
        double amount = sc.nextDouble();

        double discount = 0;
        double finalAmount;

        // Apply 10% discount if amount is more than 1000
        if (amount > 1000) {
            discount = amount * 0.10;
        }

        finalAmount = amount - discount;

        System.out.println("Original Amount: ?" + amount);
        System.out.println("Discount: ?" + discount);
        System.out.println("Amount to Pay: ?" + finalAmount);

        sc.close();
    }
}

Explanation

Logic Used

If purchase amount > ?1000,
→ Discount = 10% of amount
Otherwise,
→ No discount
Final Amount = Amount − Discount

How to learn from this program

First read the algorithm, then study the program code line by line. After that, compare the code with the output and finally go through the explanation. This approach helps learners understand both the logic and the implementation properly.

Practice suggestion

After understanding this example, try to rewrite the same program without looking at the code. Then change some values or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and keeps learners engaged on the page for longer.
