Horse object 1. The Horse objects represent the horses in the race. 2. Each horse has a name and a symbol (1 character). The symbol is used for display during the race, while the name is used to announce the winner. 3. During the race, a horse may fall, resulting in its elimination from the race. 4. Horses are assigned a confidence rating ranging from 0 to 1. A higher confidence rating indicates faster running speed, but also increases the likelihood of falling. 5. Winning a race slightly increases a horse's confidence, while falling during a race slightly decreases it. 1. Write the Horse class according to the following specification: a) The class should be named Horse b) It should have 5 fields to store: i. The name of the horse (e.g., "PIPPI LONGSTOCKING") ii. A single (Unicode) character used to represent the horse (e.g., a) iii. iv. V. The distance travelled by the horse as a whole number A boolean indicating whether or not the horse has fallen. The confidence rating of the horse, represented as a decimal number between 0 and 1. c) The constructor of the class should have the following signature: public Horse (char horseSymbol, String horseName, double horseConfidence) d) The class should provide the following public methods: . fall(): Sets the horse as fallen. • • • • • getConfidence(): Returns the confidence rating of the horse. getDistance Travelled(): Returns the distance traveled by the horse. getName(): Returns the name of the horse. getSymbol(): Returns the character used to represent the horse. goBackToStart(): Resets the horse to the start of the race. hasFallen(): Returns true if the horse has fallen, false otherwise. moveForward(): Increments the distance traveled by the horse by 1. setConfidence(double newConfidence): Sets the confidence rating of the horse to the given value. setSymbol(char newSymbol): Sets the character used to represent the horse to the given character." c) Encapsulation should be implemented to ensure that the values of the fields are always acceptable. (Note: It's crucial that your Horse class precisely meets this specification to ensure compatibility with the Race class written by McFarewell).
