Mission: Police Dispatch Center

Tommy has caused chaos in Vice City and the police are tracking his wanted level. The dispatch center needs a system that, given the number of wanted stars, reports which force responds and how serious the situation is.

Store the number of stars in an int variable named stars. Then:

Use a switch on the number of stars to print the responding force:

• 0 → You are clean, no pursuit
• 1 → One police car spots you
• 2 → Several cars chase you
• 3 → A helicopter shows up
• 4 → Special forces arrive
• 5 → The FBI moves in
• 6 → The army rolls in tanks
• any other value → Invalid wanted level

Then, on a second line, use an if / else if chain to print the danger assessment:

• 5 or more stars → Critical situation, run now
• 3 or 4 stars → High danger, escape fast
• 1 or 2 stars → Under control, lose them in the streets
• otherwise → All quiet

Watch the boundaries: at 5 stars the situation turns critical, at 3 it goes from "under control" to "high danger".

Example for 3 stars:

A helicopter shows up
High danger, escape fast

Example for 6 stars:

The army rolls in tanks
Critical situation, run now

Example for -1 stars (invalid value):

Invalid wanted level
All quiet
