(1) Please create a generic linked list with node. I have already uploaded LinkedList3.java to blackboard. You can use LinkedList3 for your project 8.

(2) Please create a Student class by yourself:

(a) private instance variables: String first name, String last name, String student ID, Birthday (date, month, year) ( this could be a class: Date)

(b) constructor with parameters

(c) toString() function to return the data

(3) Please create a driver class:

a. Create an empty linked list first with Student type.

b. Create 4 student objects with name, student ID and birthrate.

c. Add each student to the linked list by calling the method: addToStart()

d. Print the whole list by calling the method: outputList()

e. Print the size of the list by calling the method: size()

f. You can try other methods in the generic linked list class.
