Java Lab Activity, Looping Statements

1. Laboratory Activity: Dependents Java Programming - Looping Statements

2. Objectives 1. Apply looping statements (for, while, or do-while) in solving problems. 2. Use conditional statements inside loops to process input data. 3. Develop a simple Java program that computes results based on user input.

3. Instructions 1. Create a new Java program and save it as Dependents.java. 2. The program should: - Ask the user to enter the number of dependents. - For each dependent, ask for the name and age. - Assign an allowance based on age using if-else inside a loop: 0–5 years old → ₱1,000 allowance 6– 18 years old → ₱2,000 allowance Above 18 → ₱0 allowance - Display the total allowance for the family.

4. Sample Output Enter number of dependents: 3 Enter name of dependent 1: Ana Enter age of Ana: 4 Enter name of dependent 2: Ben Enter age of Ben: 10 Enter name of dependent 3: Carla Enter age of Carla: 19 Total Allowance: ₱3,000

5. Submission Guidelines • Submit your file as Dependents.java. • Make sure your code runs without errors. • Document your code with proper comments.

6. Reflection Questions 1. Which type of loop (for, while, or do-while) did you use? Why? 2. How did the loop make your program easier to write compared to not using a loop? 3. What changes would you make if the allowance rules were updated?
