java if 没有_java – 如何做一个决定没有if语句

我正在学习Java课程，我们还没有正式学习if语句。我在学习，看到这个问题：

Write a method called pay that accepts two parameters: a real number for a TA’s salary, and an integer for the number hours the TA worked this week. The method should return how much money to pay the TA. For example, the call pay(5.50, 6) should return 33.0. The TA should receive “overtime” pay of 1.5 times the normal salary for any hours above 8. For example, the call pay(4.00, 11) should return (4.00 * 8) + (6.00 * 3) or 50.0.

如何不使用if语句解决这个问题？到目前为止，我有这个，但我坚持正常工资：

public static double pay (double salary, int hours) {

double pay = 0;

for (int i = hours; i > 8; i --) {

pay += (salary * 1.5);

}

}
