public static void main(String[] args) {

String S1 = "Java Programming";

String S2 = " is taught";
String S3 = " at Colorado State";

28) Inference Proof (14 points): If you are sitting next to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie at a swank Sunset
Boulevard restaurant, then you must have a very good table, and that means you must either be a movie star
