Question

Write a program that prompts the user for a bearing from 0 to 359 and
prints the corresponding letter of the compass point nearest to the bearing.
Bearings exactly halfway between two compass points should produce
either N or S (never E or W).
For example:
Input of 73 is between N and E, but is closer

Answer 1

Thank you very much!!

Answer 2

Would I also be able to use a nested if statement in dr java to create this program?

Answer 3

Something like this could be the algorithm
```
input bearing # integer in [0 .. 359]
case bearing in [46, 124] then
print 'E'
case bearing in [125, 225] then
print 'S'
case bearing in [226, 314] then
print 'W'
else
print 'N'
```

You have to write it in the program language sorry, the editor of open study is a little buggy, had to type it again several times

Answer 4

```
