Looking for help with developing a code. Using the book Java How to program 11 edition. Dangling Else: 3.29(pg109-110)

We are to start with code:

if (y == 8)

if (x == 5)

System.out.println("@@@@@");

else

System.out.println("#####"):

System.out.println("$$$$$");

System.out.println("&&&&&")

Replicate this code 4 times (a, b, c, d)

At the start of the program, the user should enter the y value.

(Note: the programmer sets the value of x (not the user), as x is always the same.

Test the program.

(Adjust code sections for (a, b, c, d) until the output the correct results.

(a, b, c, d ----> Output is what is shown for a, b, c, d)

Can you please explain how to do this assignment? I think I am confusing myself.
