Question 2 Why my assignment is late

Write a Java program that helps a student write the text to an email explaining to their professor why their assignment is late.

Your program should prompt the user to enter the following information.

Note: String inputs are to be one word and the number input is to be stored in a variable of type double.

• The first or last name of your instructor
• Your name
• A food
• A number between 37.0 and 40.0
• An adjective
• A color
• An animal

After the strings and double are input, they should be substituted into the story below and output as an email to your prof using a single System.out.println() statement to the console (See sample output in figure 1).

Dear professor [Instructor name],

I am sorry that I am unable to turn in my computer assignment at this time. First, I ate a rotten [food], which made me turn [colour] and extremely ill. I came down with a fever of [fever]. Next my [adjective] pet [animal] must have smelled the remains of the [food] on my USB key (which is where my program was stored) because he ate it.

I am currently rewriting my programs and hope you will accept my assignment late.

Sincerely,

[student name]

Question 3 Manipulating variables of type String (6 pts)

Write a program that

1. Displays a welcome message of your choice.
2. Prompts the user for two words (can contain upper and lower case letters, digits and special characters excluding whitespace characters) then displays the number of characters as well as the first and last characters of each word.
