Every time you create a PrintJob object, make sure its ID is one greater than the previously created PrintJob. The Driver Class/Main In a main function, you'll set up your queue structure for storing PrintJob objects. The program will indefinitely ask the user to enter one of the following three commands: add - Entering this command will cause the program to prompt the user for the number of pages to print. The program will then generate a PrintJob object and store it in the queue. print - Entering this command will "print" the print job at the front of the queue. The program will pop the next print job and display the print job's ID and number of pages that were printed. exit - End/exit the program. Other Notes . If the user enters an invalid command, print an error message and ask them to try again. If the print queue is empty, print a message stating that fact. You may not use queue/queue-like structures built into your chosen programming language.
