    Q1: A game has a series of three levels, but you only get the bonus points if you pass all three levels on the first try. Assume the following declarations:
    🔗
    boolean level1, level2, level3;
    🔗
    The variables indicate whether the level was passed on the first try (true indicates yes, false indicates no).
    🔗
    Which of the following code segments will properly update the points variable?
    🔗
    1. if (level1 && level2 && level3)
   points += 5;
      🔗
    2. if (level1 || level2 || level3)
   points += 5;
      🔗
    3. if (level1)
   points += 5;
if (level2)
   points += 5;

else if (numUnits >=10)
   discount = 0.1;
else
   discount = 0;
