First code is top, second code is on bottom. This is for Java. What makes these two codes different? (a) If x = 3, what will the first (code) print out? (b) If x = 3, what will the second (code) print out? (c)If x = 1, what will the first (code) print out? (d) If x = 1, what will the second (code) print out?

n this lab, you complete a prewritten Python program for a carpenter who creates personalized house signs. The program is supposed to compute the price of any sign a customer orders, based on the following facts: The charge for all signs is a minimum of $35.00. The first five letters or numbers are included in the minimum charge; there is a $4 charge for each additional character. If the sign is make of oak, add $20.00. No charge is added for pine. Black or white characters are included in the minimum charge; there is an additional $15 charge for gold-leaf lettering.
