Answer 1

The Java function 'cigarParty' correctly returns true if the number of cigars is appropriate for a successful squirrel party, factoring in whether or not it is the weekend.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question relates to a coding problem, specifically a function in the Java programming language. The function, cigarParty, takes two parameters: the number of cigars and a boolean indicating whether it is the weekend. It returns true if the conditions for a successful squirrel party are met and false otherwise.

The code works correctly as per the given specification. For a party to be successful on a weekday, there must be between 40 and 60 cigars, inclusive. On the weekend, the only requirement is that there must be at least 40 cigars, with no upper limit to the count.

The given code is a logic problem that determines whether a squirrel party is successful based on the number of cigars and whether it is the weekend or not. If it is the weekend, there is no upper bound on the number of cigars, so the party is successful as long as there are at least 40 cigars. If it is not the weekend, the party is successful only if the number of cigars is between 40 and 60 inclusive.
