// TODO: Implement the equals() method. Recall: the equals() method

// should have Object as its parameter type (why?).

// equals() should test if the parameter is the correct type of object

// using the instanceof operator.

// If the object is the correct type, then equals() should check that

// the data matches. Note that the object will need to be cast as

// Name in order to access the data.

// TODO: Implement the compareTo method by comparing last names. If

// last names are equal, then compare first names. So,

// "Jane Jones" should be before "Amy Smith" (because Jones is before

// Smith).

// "Beth Jones" should be before "Jane Jones" (because Beth is before Jane).

// You are writing the compareTo method for NAMES. You should make use of

// the

// String class compareTo method.

// As with any compareTo method, it should return:

// a negative integer if this is "smaller than" (or comes before) other

// a positive integer if this is "greater than" (or comes after) other

// zero if this is equal to other
