(JAVA PROGRAMMING)

This assignment does NOT involve a hierarchy of classes.

It only involves 1 domain class, 1 driver/tester class, and 2 comparator classes. Interfaces do NOT need to be created. Only the Comparable and the Comparator interfaces in the Java API are implemented. I provided the 2 given classes(domain and driver with instructions in the comments) and I have to make 2 more comparator classes. The instructions are below also. Please use Scanner Keyboard

INSTRUCTIONS

1.) Create a new class called Course, with attributes such as FIUCourseName, credits, FloridaCourseName, arrayList of preRequisites, and yearLevel.

The Course class must implement the Comparable interface to compare by FIUCourseName. The Course class' toString() method should include printing all the pre-requisites too, which are part of the course object.

You will need comparator objects, to allow the comparison by FloridaCourseName, or by yearLevel.

2.) Create a new driver class whose main method will call at least 2 methods, one to create an arrayList of Course objects, and another to display a menu of options for the user.

The first method called from main will create an arrayList of Course objects by prompting the user to enter the core courses required for the IT major, and asking for all the information required to populate all the attributes of the Course object. Once done, the method will ask the user if he/she wants to enter another course. This will continue until the user replies that he/she is done entering the course information.

The second method called from main will continuously display a menu to the user, to select the order in which to print the Course arrayList : by FIUCourseName (implements Comparable) by FloridaCourseName (use a Comparator object) by yearLevel (use a Comparator object) or exit the menu

Once a menu option is selected, the appropriate Collections.sort method will be called, and the arrayList will be printed in that order: a.) using either the Comparable interface to sort by FIUCourseName Collections.sort(myArrayList); b.) using a Comparator object to sort by yearLevel Collections.sort(myArrayList, new ComparatorByYear); c.) using a Comparator object to sort by FloridaCourseName.*** Collections.sort(myArrayList, new ComparatorByFLACourse);

***Remember: Allow the user to sort in multiple ways without having to re-start the whole program, and re-enter all the data. (Hint: use a ? loop)
