The challenge

After a hard quarter in the office you decide to get some rest on a vacation. So you will book a flight for you and your girlfriend and try to leave all the mess behind you.

You will need a rental car in order for you to get around in your vacation. The manager of the car rental makes you some good offers.

Every day you rent the car costs $40. If you rent the car for 7 or more days, you get $50 off your total. Alternatively, if you rent the car for 3 or more days, you get $20 off your total.

Write a code that gives out the total amount for different days(d).

public class Solution {
  public static int rentalCarCost(int d) {
    int totalBefore = d * 40;
    if (d>=7) return totalBefore-50;
    if (d>=3) return totalBefore-20;
    return totalBefore;
  }

public class Solution {
  private static final int COST_PER_DAY = 40;
  public static int rentalCarCost(int d) {
    if (d < 3)       return d * COST_PER_DAY;
    else if (d >= 7) return d * COST_PER_DAY - 50;
    else             return d * COST_PER_DAY - 20;
  }

public class Solution {
  public static int rentalCarCost(int d) {
    return d < 7 ? d < 3 ? 40 * d : 40 * d - 20 : 40 * d - 50;
  }
}
