Java Program:

import javax.swing.*;

public class CandyBox {
  
//Main method
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame f=new JFrame();
   String[] candies = {"Sour Apple", "Fizzy Chip", "Marshmallows", "Jelly Snake"};
   int[] sales = new int[4];
  
//Reading sales of each candy box
for(int i=0; i<4; i++) {
//Reading sales
sales[i] = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(f,"Enter the number of boxes of " + candies[i]));
}
  
//Calculating total sales and highest and lowest selling candies
int total=0, high=0, low=0;
  
//Iterating over candies
for(int i=0; i<4; i++) {
  
//Accumulating total sales
total += sales[i];
  
//Comparing for highest number of sales
if(sales[i] > sales[high]) {
//Updating values
high = i;
}
//Comparing for lowest number of sales
if(sales[i] < sales[low]) {
//Updating values
low = i;
}
}
  
//Printing results
   JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(f,"Total boxes of candy sold: " + total + "\nHighest Selling Candy: " + candies[high] + "\nLowest Selling Candy: " + candies[low]);
}
}
