Month Class
Write a class named Month. The class should have an int field named monthNumber that holds the number of the month. For example, January would be 1, February would be 2, and so forth. In addition, provide the following methods:
- A no-arg constructor that sets the monthNumber field to 1.
- A constructor that accepts the number of the month as an argument. It should set the monthNumber field to the value passed as the argument. if a value less than 1 or greater than 12 is passed, the constructor should set monthNumber to 1.
- A constructor that accepts the name of the month, such as “January” or “February” as an argument. It should set the monthNumber field to the correct corresponding value.
- A setMonthNumber method that accepts an int argument, which is assigned to the monthNumber field. If a value less than 1 or greater than 12 is passed, the method should set monthNumber to 1.
- A getMonthNumber method that returns the value in the monthNumber field.
- A getMonthName method that returns the name of the month. For example, if the monthNumber field contains 1, then this method should return “January”.
- A toString method that returns the same value as the getMonthName method.
- An equals method that accepts a Month object as an argument. If the argument object holds the same data as the calling object, this method should return true. Otherwise, it should return false.
- A greaterThan method that accepts a Month object as an argument. If the calling object’s monthNumber field is greater than the argument’s monthNumber field, this method should return true. Otherwise, it should return false.
- A lessThan method that accepts a Month object as an argument. If the calling object’s monthNumber field is less than the argument’s monthNumber field, this method should return true. Otherwise, it should return false.

2. Car Class Write a class named car that has the following fields: ▪ yearModel. The year Model field is an int that holds the car's year model. ▪ make. The make field is a String object that holds the make of the car, such as "Ford", "Chevrolet", "Honda", etc. ▪ speed. The speed field is an int that holds the car's current speed. In addition, the class should have the following methods. ■ Constructor. The constructor should accept the car's year model and make as arguments. These values should be assigned to the object's year Model and make fields. The constructor should also assign 0 to the speed field.
True or false: A class may have a constructor with no parameter list, and an overloaded constructor whose parameters all take default arguments.

- True or False It is legal to write a class without any constructors.arrow_forwardINVENTORY CLASS You need to create an Inventory class containing the private data fields, as well as the methods for the Inventory class (object). Be sure your Inventory class defines the private data fields, at least one constructor, accessor and mutator methods, method overloading (to handle the data coming into the Inventory class as either a String and/or int/float), as well as all of the methods (methods to calculate) to manipulate the Inventory class (object). The data fields in the Inventory class include the inventory product number (int), inventory product description (String), inventory product price (float), inventory quantity on hand (int), inventory quantity on order (int), and inventory quantity sold (int). The Inventory class (java file) should also contain all of the static data fields, as well as static methods to handle the logic in counting all of the objects processed (counter), as well as totals (accumulators) for the total product inventory and the total product…arrow_forwardT/F: Instance variables are shared by all the instances of the class.
