PROBLEM

Write an application for a lawn-mowing service. The lawn-mowing season lasts 20

weeks. The weekly fee for mowing a lot under 4,000 square feet is $25. The fee for
a lot that is 4,000 square feet or more, but under 6,000 square feet, is $35 per
week. The fee for a lot that is 6,000 square feet or over is $50 per week. Prompt the
user for the length and width of a lawn.
Add a prompt that asks the user whether the customer wants to pay (1) once, (2)
twice, or (3) 20 times per year. If the user enters 1 for once, the fee for the season
is simply the seasonal total. If the customer requests two payments, each payment
is half the seasonal fee plus a $5 service charge. If the user requests 20 separate
payments, add a $3 service charge per week. Display the number of payments the
customer must make, each payment amount, and the total for the season.

\
ALGORITHM
1. Prompts the user to input for length and width of a lawn.
2. Calculate the value of area which is length times width.
3. Add an if else statement: if area is less than 4000, then amount is equal to 25, if
area is greater than or equal to 4000 and area is less than 6000, then amount is
equal to 35, and if area is greater than or equal 6000, then amount is equal to 50.
4. Prompt the user to input the number of the selected payment: 1, 2 and 3 which
are stored in the variable choice.
5. If choice is equal to 1, then totalFee is equal to weekFee(weekly fee) times 20 and
displays a message regarding the result of totalFee, if choice is equal to 2, then
totalFee is equal to weekFee(weekly fee) times 20 divided by 2 plus 5 and displays
a message regarding the result of totalFee, if choice is equal to 3, then totalFee is
equal to weekFee(weekly fee) times 20 divided by 20 plus 3 and displays a message
regarding the result of totalFee.
6. Add an error message if the users input is invalid.
