Fantasy Game

Question

http://chortle.ccsu.edu/java5/cs151java.html#13
Very good website for a newbie who wants to learn java. and hopefully i am confident That after working all the exercise problems and reading the chapters i will be good in java as a matter of fact i am doing very good. anyways i dont understand what the author is trying to ask in the question.
Q) In a new role-playing fantasy game players must design their character by picking a point value for each of three characteristics:
Strength, from 1 to 10
Health, from 1 to 10
Luck, from 1 to 10
Write a program that asks for a name for the character and asks for the point value of for each of the three characteristics. However, the total points must be less than 15. If the total exceeds 15, then 5 points are assigned to each characteristic
output :
Welcome to Yertle's Quest
Enter the name of your character:
Chortle
Enter strength (1-10):
8
Enter health (1-10):
4
Enter luck (1-10):
6
You have give your character too many points!  Default values have been assigned:
Chortle, strength: 5, health: 5, luck: 5p.s: (This user interface could get much more complicated. You might want to implement some of your own ideas.)
i know i need to use if and else statement. i need a variable by the name of total and set a condition that if total is greater than 15 then just print the output as you see above. but he dont say anything about the total < 15. do i need to just print the total for charlotte or what ?
i had my interview today for a software developer position. The employer ask me all kind of statements for loops methods and all that stuff which i was able to answer but then she ask me definition about (ENcapsulation, inheritance, java sql and java applet). i just had Java programming in my resume. Y the employer thought that i knew about java sql or java applet or java swing. That is totally wrong i was so pissed off. i did'nt knew what to say and i can assume that i will fail my interview but this ridiculous.

Answer 1

Why would you forget in the first place?True i guess i have not been writing programs in 2
years since i took all my majors computer classes
first and then all of those theory subjects now. and
we write all our programs in c++ but now recently
like 4 months ago i started reading about java i like
it. but most of the authors did not tell you what an
encapsulation is or inheritance they will tell you
about parameters boolean expression and all that
stuff but i knew i read in my programming language
class about encapsulation and inheritance. she could
have simply ask me OO Methadology? or OO design? grrr
anyways its over so now i have all the damn
definitions which is necessary for software developer
job. + y java sql y java applet? y java swing ? oh
and yes since she asked me all these sql, applet, and
swing she could have asked me about java networking,
3d grrr i am just pissed of that how an employer
think that if you know java u know j2ee or everything
in java. may be she was not that much qualified i
told her that it would be good if she can ask me more
about programming questions like array, vectors
rather than definitions and she said oh Thanks alot i
will forward your resume to my supervisor dont know
what that means but i am sure she will fail me. :(That's ok. "Maybe" they'll be needing those skills.
Java is really broad and all.
My First Job as a Java Developer, we were also given so much of a task ranging from (Swing, Applets, Networking, J2EE, J2ME).
But it doesn't look fair.
(As to Job Description is concerned)
