Implement the Point class (basic Point class was discussed in the lecture). The class has the following instance variables:

x coordinate

y coordinate

and the following methods:

Constructor that sets the x and y coordinates

Get and set methods

Method equals if this point is equal to another point object (if the x and y coordinates are the same).

Method isHigher if this point is higher than another point object (if the y coordinate of this point is greater than the y coordinate of the other point)

Method findLength that calculates the length of the line connecting this point to another point object. (Formula for length between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is square root of ((x2-x1)2 + (y2-y1)2)

Test the class. In the demo program, construct four points p1, p2, p3 and p4 using user-defined values. Determine

Which point is the highest. (If two points are at the same height, you may report either point).

Whether line p1 p2 is longer than line p3 p4.

A sample screen dialog is given below:

Enter the x and y coordinates for point1: -9 7

Enter the x and y coordinates for point2: 5 -7

Enter the x and y coordinates for point3: 4 -3

Enter the x and y coordinates for point4: 0 -2

[-9,7] is the highest point

The length between [-9,7] and [5,-7] is 19.79898987322333

The length between [4,-3] and [0,-2] is 4.123105625617661

Line from [-9,7] to [5,-7] is longer
