Modify the student class presented in this chapter as follows. Each student object should also contain the scores for three tests. Provide a constructor that sets all instance values based on parameter values. Overload the constructor such that each test score is assumed to be initially zero. Provide a method called setTestScore that accepts two parameters: the test number (1 through 3) and the score. Also provide a method called getTestScore that accepts the test number and returns the appropriate score Provide a method called average that computes and returns the average test score for this student. Modify the toString method such that the test scores and average are included in the description of the student. Modify the driver class main method to exercise the new Student methods.

1A. Create a Die class with one integer instance variable called sideUp. Give it a constructor and a getSideUp() method that returns the value of sideUp and a void roll() method that changes sideUp to a random value from 1 to 6. [Note: To generate a random integer between 1 and 6, use Math.random() method] Then create a DieDemo class with a main method that creates two Die objects, rolls them, and then prints the sum of the two sides up.
The following is a class definition for a simple Ebook. Two instance variables and one parameterless constructor are provided. Part 1: Write a second constructor that takes a String array of pages as input and sets the String array instance variable equal to the input. Continue to default the current page number to zero. Part 2: Write a getter and a setter method for the page number variable. The setter should check to make sure that the input is a valid page number and only update the variable if the new value is valid. Part 3: Write a getCurrentPage method that returns the String of the current page indexed by current_page. public class Ebook{    private String[] pages;    private int current_page;    //constructor    public Ebook()    {        this.pages = {"See Spot.", "See Spot run.", "Run, Spot, run."};        this.current_page = 0;    }}
