* This program calculates a tax refund amount based on the income for the year and the number of children a person has
* The rules are:
*
* Income > 30000$ and <= 40000$ and ch >= 3, refund is 1000.0$ * ch
* Income > 20000$ and <= 30000$ and ch >= 2, refund is 1500.0$ * ch
* Income <= 20000$, refund is 2000.0$ * ch
*
* For example, if the income was 34312$ and the number of children (ch) was 7 then the tax refund would be: 1000*7 = 7000.0$
