5.17 (Calculating Sales) An online retailer sells five products whose retail prices are as follows: Product 1, $2.98; product 2, $4.50; product 3, $9.98; product 4, $4.49 and product 5, $6.87. Write an application that reads a series of pairs of numbers as follows: product number quantity sold Your program should use a switch statement to determine the retail price for each product. It should calculate and display the total retail value of all products sold. Use a sentinel-controlled loop to determine when the program should stop looping and display the final results.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Main

{

public static void main(String[] args) {

    //Initialize the prices as constants

    final double PRODUCT_1_PRICE = 2.98;

    final double PRODUCT_2_PRICE = 4.50;

    final double PRODUCT_3_PRICE = 9.98;

    final double PRODUCT_4_PRICE = 4.49;

    final double PRODUCT_5_PRICE = 6.87;

    //Declare the other variables

    int productNumber, quantitySold;

    double total = 0.0;

    //Create a Scanner object to get input

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    //Create a while loop

    while(true){

        //Ask the user to enter the productNumber

     System.out.print("Enter the product number or 999 to quit: ");

     productNumber = input.nextInt();

     // Stop the loop, if productNumber is 999(sentinel value, you may choose any value you want)

     if(productNumber == 999)

         break;

     //Ask the user to enter the quantitySold

     System.out.print("Enter the quantity sold: ");

     quantitySold = input.nextInt();

     //Create a switch statement that works depending on the productNumber entered.

     //For example, if the productNumber is 1, it multiplies the quantitySold by PRODUCT_1_PRICE

     //   and adds the result to the total. If productNumber is 2, it does the same for product 2 ...

     switch(productNumber){

         case 1:

             total += quantitySold * PRODUCT_1_PRICE;

             break;

         case 2:

             total += quantitySold * PRODUCT_2_PRICE;

             break;

         case 3:

             total += quantitySold * PRODUCT_3_PRICE;

             break;

         case 4:

             total += quantitySold * PRODUCT_4_PRICE;

             break;

         case 5:

             total += quantitySold * PRODUCT_5_PRICE;

             break;

     }

    }

 //Print the total (when the loop is done)

 System.out.println("The total is $" + total);

}

}
