For the following problem statement, would you include an if/else statement or a switch statement?   Explain your answer.  Be sure to address both types of statements in your answer. (You do not need to write the code.)                              [3 Points]

Write a program that determines the bonus that should be paid to employees.  Bonuses are determined based on the year’s production.   The bonus is $25 for 1000 units or fewer.  The bonus is $50 for 1001 to 3000 units.  The bonus is $100 for 3001 units or more.

Answer 1

The problem statement says that the bonus is paid to employees based upon the year's production

For this problem statement, we use if/else statement because if/else is a conditional statement we specify the conditions

for this problem if production_units<=1000 then bonus=bonus+25(dollars) and if production_units <=10000 and >1000 then bonus=bonus+50(dollars)

for this statement, we cannot use a switch case because generally switch is a conditional statement which allows choosing the particular choice among the many given choices. For this statement, there are no multiple choices(cases) here the solution of this problem statement is to just checking the condition and adding the bonus to the employees there is no need for the switch case statement'
