Answer 1

return Statement must be always the last statement in the method

public boolean runAJob()
    {
        boolean jobsFinished = false;

        Job firstJob = getCurrentJob();

        String jobName = firstJob.getName();

        int jobDuration = firstJob.getDuration();

        if (!myJob.isEmpty()&& jobDuration > 0 && jobDuration <= myTotalDuration)

        { 

             myTotalDuration -= jobDuration;

             myFinishedJobs.add(myJob.get(0));

             myJob.remove(0);

             System.out.println("'"+jobName+"'" +" is completed. "+ myTotalDuration+ " 

seconds remaining on the clock");

             jobsFinished = true;

        }

        else

        {

            System.out.println("JobQueue is empty");

        }

        return jobsFinished;
    }
