Representing Names
1.Write a class Name that stores a person's first, middle, and last names and provides the following methods:
•public Name(String first, String middle, String last) -- constructor. The name should be stored in the case given; don't convert to all upper or lower case.
•public String getFirst() -- returns the first name
•public String getMiddle() -- returns the middle name
•public String getLast() -- returns the last name
•public String firstMiddleLast() -- returns a string containing the person's full name in order, e.g., "Mary Jane Smith".
•public String lastFirstMiddle() -- returns a string containing the person's full name with the last name first followed by a comma, e.g., "Smith, Mary Jane".
•public boolean equals(Name otherName) -- returns true if this name is the same as otherName. Comparisons should not be case sensitive. (Hint: There is a String method equalsIgnoreCase that is just like the String method equals except it does not consider case in doing its comparison.)
•public String initials() -- returns the person's initials (a 3-character string). The initials should be all in upper case, regardless of what case the name was entered in. (Hint: Instead of using charAt, use the substring method of String to get a string containing only the first letter -- then you can upcase this one-letter string. See Figure 2.8 in the text for a description of the substring method.)
•public int length() -- returns the total number of characters in the full name, not including spaces.
2.Now write a program TestNames.java that prompts for and reads in two names from the user (you'll need first, middle, and last for each), creates a Name object for each, and uses the methods of the Name class to do the following:
a.For each name, print
•first-middle-last version
•last-first-middle version
•initials
•length
b.Tell whether or not the names are the same.
