Early payment discount
A vendor rewards early payment: the further ahead the payment, the larger the discount off the subtotal.
- Days early >= 10 earns a 2% discount, rounded down.
- Days early >= 5 (but under 10) earns a 1% discount, rounded down.
- Under 5 days earns no discount.
- The discount is floor(subtotal × percentage / 100).
earlyDiscount(subtotal: int, daysEarly: int) → int
Java needs a compiler and Drill does not host one yet, so this page is the reference rather than an exercise: the problem, worked examples, and the solution in full. To type it out, the same problem runs in Python.

Hint
Check the thresholds from largest to smallest.
Reference solution in Java
int earlyDiscount(int subtotal, int daysEarly) {
if (daysEarly >= 10) return subtotal * 2 / 100;
if (daysEarly >= 5) return subtotal / 100;
return 0;
