Question 2
a. (4 marks) Write a function called double getNumberOfHours()
that asks the user to enter the total number of hours they wish to hire a
car for (as double) and returns the number of hours. If the number of
hours entered is less than or equal to zero, or greater than 300 the
function should return a value of -1.0 indicating the value is not within
the valid range.

Write the code for double getNumberOfHours() here:

b. (6 marks) Write the Constructor of the class CarHire that calls the
method getNumberOfHours(). If the hours entered was within the
valid range then display a confirmation message on the screen that
the car hire will proceed, and display the number of days for the car
hire ROUNDED TO TWO DECIMAL PLACES. Use the formula:

days = numberOfHours / 24;

If the hours entered was invalid (if -1.0 was returned from the function)
then display an error message to the user.
