- Portfolio Instructions: You are working for a financial advisor who creates portfolios of financial securities for his clients. A portfolio is a conglomeration of various financial assets, such as stocks and bonds, that together create a balanced collection of investments. When the financial advisor makes a purchase of securities on behalf of a client, a single transaction can include multiple shares of stock or multiple bonds. It is your job to create an object-oriented application that will allow the financial advisor to maintain the portfolios for his/her clients. You will need to create several classes to maintain this information: Security, Stock, Bond, Portfolio, and Date. The characteristics of stocks and bonds in a portfolio are shown below: Stocks: Bonds: Purchase date (Date) Purchase date (Date) Purchase price (double)…arrow_forwardStudent Information using Constructors Write a java program using parameterised constructor to display student details such as student name, student branch, student college.arrow_forwardList various types of constructorsarrow_forward

Why would you include a constructor in a class?arrow_forwardDescribe some properties of Constructors.arrow_forwardjava Assignment Description: Write a class named Car that has the following fields: The yearModel field is an int that holds the car’s year model. The make field references a String object that holds the make of the car. The speed field is an int that holds the car’s current speed. In addition, the class should have the following constructor and other methods. The constructor should accept the car’s year and make as arguments. These values should be assigned to the object’s yearModel and make fields. The constructor should also assign 0 to the speed field. Constructor: The constructor should accept no arguments. Constructor: The constructor should accept the car’s year as argument.Assign the value to the object’s yearModel. No need to assign anything to the make and assign 0 to speed. Appropriate mutator methods should set the values in an object’s yearModel, make, and speed fields. Appropriate accessor methods should get the values stored in an object’s yearModel, make, and…arrow_forward
