Example: Your accountant asks you to write a program that calcu-
lates the amount of tax a person is required to pay. You know that if
the income exceeds $30,000.00, then the tax rate is 38%. If the in-
come is less than or equal to $30,000.00, the tax rate is 28%. The
question is: is income < 30,000.00? Or to state it a different way: is
x<y?
