Above is the original code for the class Automation and needs to re-write it as mentioned in the image of Exercise 7.28 above.

Thank you!

Exercise 7.2 Rewrite the two if-else statements in the loop of the u method of the class of automaton-vi so that the assignments to left and right use conditional operators
