(1800 hours) but before    8:00 A.M (0800 hours) is discounted 50%.  Any call longer than 60 minutes receives a 15% discount. All calls are subject to 4% federal tax on the cost after any discounts.   Write a program that takes the start time for a call based on a 24-hour clock and the length of the call in minutes. The gross cost (before any discounts or tax) should be displayed followed by the net cost (after discounts are deducted and tax is added).
