Modify the student class presented in this chapter as follows. Each student object should also contain the scores for three tests. Provide a constructor that sets all instance values based on parameter values. Overload the constructor such that each test score is assumed to be initially zero. Provide a method called setTestScore that accepts two parameters: the test number (1 through 3) and the score. Also provide a method called getTestScore that accepts the test number and returns the appropriate score Provide a method called average that computes and returns the average test score for this student. Modify the toString method such that the test scores and average are included in the description of the student. Modify the driver class main method to exercise the new Student methods.

Create a PhoneListing class that uses the Name class for one of its instance variables. Remember the instance data in the Name class is private to the class and must be accessed through its methods.Add additional instance variables to the PhoneListing class for the phone number. The phone number should be broken down into three parts, area code, city code, and local code.Create all appropriate methods for the new class, including the following three methods:
equals(PhoneListing):boolean, an equality of state method that returns true if the objects contain the same name and phone number.
compareTo(PhoneListing):int, a comparison method that returns -1 if the calling PhoneListing object should precede the argument PhoneListing object, 1 if the calling PhoneListing object should come after the argument PhoneListing object, and a 0 if they are equal. Use last, first, middle, phone number as the ordering values.

Create a class called Date that includes three instance variables-a month (type int), a day (type int) and a year (type int). Provide a constructor that initializes the three instance variables and assumes that the values provided are correct. Provide a set and a get method for each instance variable. Provide a method displayDate that displays the month, day and year separated by forward slashes (/). Add a main method to the class that demonstrates class Date's capabilities.

Two instance variables and one parameterless constructor are provided. Part 1: Write a second constructor that takes a String array of pages as input and sets the String array instance variable equal to the input. Continue to default the current page number to zero. Part 2: Write a getter and a setter method for the page number variable. The setter should check to make sure that the input is a valid page number and only update the variable if the new value is valid. Part 3: Write a getCurrentPage method that returns the String of the current page indexed by current_page. public class Ebook{ private String[] pages; private int current_page; //constructor public Ebook() { this.pages = {"See Spot.", "See Spot run.", "Run, Spot, run."}; this.current_page = 0; }}arrow_forward2A. Create a Date class with three integer instance variables named day, month, year. It has a constructor with three parameters for initializing the instance variables, and it has one method named daysSinceJan1(). It computes and returns the number of days since January1ofthe same year, including January 1 and the day in the Date object. For example, if day is a Date object with day = 1, month = 3, and year = 2000, then the call date.daysSinceJan1( ) should return 61 since there are 61 days between the dates of January 1, 2000, and March 1, 2000, including January1 and March 1.

In this question, you are provided a completed superclass – Shape (Do not make any changes to this class!). This class represents generic shapes and has several methods that you will have to override in the Circle and Rectangle subclasses, whose code skeletons are provided as well. You are required to complete these two classes so that they can correctly describe and calculate their attributes. For the Circle class, create the following: A private double instance variable m radius. A constructor that takes two parameters (in the order of color, radius). It should use the parameter for radius to set the m_radius instance variable and then explicitly call the parent class constructor using the super keyword and pass in the color parameter. A method that overrides the calcArea method of the superclass and calculates the area of the circle. The area of a circle can be calculated as 3.14 x r² (where r is the radius).
