boolean isHoliday = true;
String customerType = "VIP";
if (isHoliday) { if (customerType.equals("VIP")) { giveDiscount(); } }Answer and explanation
Correct answer
A. If (isHoliday) { if (customerType.equals("VIP")) { giveDiscount(); } }
Why
The correct approach is to check if it is a holiday first and then verify if the customer is a VIP. This ensures that discounts are given only when both conditions are satisfied.
