Question

write a complete class definition for a class called HighSchool, which is a child class of the School class you just wrote. A HighSchool is described by its name, whether or not it is private, and the number of grades in the school. Use good principles of class design, encapsulation, and inheritance. Reuse code whenever possible.

Write the class header and the instance data variables for the HighSchool class.

Write two constructors:

a default (no-argument) constructor sets the name of the school to the text "UNKNOWN," sets private to false, and sets the number of grades to 0

a second constructor sets the name, private status, and number of grades based on a parameters

Write appropriate getter/setter methods.

Write a toString method with the following formatting

Name: Mission High (4 grades, private)

Name: Valley High (3 grades)

The word "private" is included only if the high school is private. If it is not, no private status information is included.

Write an equals method. Two high schools are logically equivalent if they have the same name (ignoring capitalization), number of grades, and private status.

           return name.equalsIgnoreCase(o.name) &&
                   grade == o.grade &&
