Please follow the specification exactly and PLEASE INCLUDE DETAILED COMMENTS so that I may understand the code. Thank you.

There will be three classes- the Person class has 2 private instance variables and 3 public methods ONLY, the MyDate class has 3 private instance variables and 3 public methods ONLY- they both must implement the Comparable interface. You will then create a test class called PersonSort that has four static methods ONLY. Detailed specifications for all three classes are below.

MyDate Class

The MyDate class has three private instance variables:

int month (1-12)

int day (1-31)

int year.

The MyDate class has three public methods:

MyDate (int month, int day, int year)

int compareTo (MyDate obj)

String toString()

DO NOT create any other instance variables or methods. This is an immutable class.

It implements the Comparable interface. In the compareTo() method, make sure you check for year, month and day in that order. This class has two other methods: a three-parameter constructor that initializes the three instance variables (month, day and year) and an override of Objects toString() method that displays the date as month, day, and year.

................................................................................

Person Class

The Person class has two private instance variables:

String name

MyDate birthday

The Person class has three public methods:

Person (String name, int month, int day, int year)

int compareTo (Person obj)

String toString()

DO NOT create any other instance variables or methods. This is an immutable class.

It implements the Comparable interface. In the compareTo() method, compare the birthdays first, and then the names, using the compareTo() methods of the MyDate and String classes. It has two other methods: a four- parameter constructor that initializes the instance variables (name and birthday) passing three of the parameters to the MyDate birthday object in order to initialize it and an override of Objects toString method that displays the name and the birthday (using the toString method of the birthday object).

...............................................................................................

PersonSort Class

The PersonSort class is the tester class for this program. It has four static methods: main, populate, selectionSort and insertionSort.

The main method

creates an ArrayList (ArrayList) of Person objects

populates it from a file that is supplied to you

copies the ArrayList to another one

uses the first ArrayList and sorts it using an insertion sort algorithm

displays the sorted ArrayList

uses the second ArrayList and sorts it using a selection sort algorithm

displays the sorted ArrayList

The populate method reads in the Person data from a file (see below for the format). DO NOT assume that you know how many records are in the file. It creates a Person object from each line in the file and adds the object to the first ArrayList.

The selectionSort method sorts the ArrayList using the selection sort algorithm.

The insertionSort method sorts the ArrayList using the insertion sort algorithm.

You are not permitted to use the sort method of the Collections framework, or its swap method. The Person objects must be sorted, first by birthday and then by name.

.................................................................................................

The filename of the supplied file is Persons.txt. Place it in the src folder of either Eclipse or IntelliJ. Create a global static constant to hold the file name that will be passed to the File object for reading the file. DO NOT assume that you know how many records are in the file.

static final String PERSON_FILE = ./src/Persons.txt;

The format of the file is: name month day year

You may use a try/catch block or let main throw the FileIO exception.

Contents of Person.txt:
