Assignment 8 A: Rare Collection. We can make arrays of custom objects just like we’ve done with ints and strings. While it’s possible to make both 1D and 2D arrays of objects (and more), for this assignment we’ll start you out with just one dimensional arrays. You have been commissioned to develop a program to digitally record a rare collection of LaserDisc movies. You will start by creating a LaserDisc class. It should have the following private attributes:
 String movieTitle
 int releaseYear
 String genre
 float rating


Your class should also have the following methods:
 Default Constructor: Initializes the four attributes to the following default values:
◦ movieTitle = “Star Wars Holiday Special”
◦ releaseYear = 1978
◦ genre = “Science Fiction”
◦ rating = 5.0


 Overloaded Constructor: Initializes the four attributes based on values passed into the formal parameters
◦ If rating is less than 0.0 or greater than 5.0, set it equal to 0.0
◦ If releaseYear is less than 1978, set it equal to 1978


 bool/Boolean isItGood(): Returns “true” if rating is 3.0 or greater, and “false” otherwise.


 Getter method for all class attribute

You will then create a separate class, Assignment8A. In its main method, you should do the following:
 Ask the user how many movies are in their collection
 Create an array (of type LaserDisc) of that size
 Use a loop to ask the user to enter information for all movie


◦ Create a LaserDisc object for each movie and store it in the next index in the array


Then using another loop, you should give the user the following options:
 Print movie information
◦ This should ask the user for a number, and then print the information from the LaserDisc object at that index. If the index is out of bounds, it should notify the user instead.


 Recommend a good movie from the collection
◦ This should choose a random movie, check if it is a good movie based on the relevant function, and either print the information to the user or guess again if it was not a good movies If there are no good movies in the collection, tell the user that no good movies exist in the collection.
Hint: You can use a counter variable to keep track of the guesses. When you’ve guessed more times than numbers of elements in the array, you can stop. However, this means you might miss some movies if the same index is randomly selected multiple times. If you want to challenge yourself further, consider another way you could handle that situation.

 Quit
◦ Ends the loop and the program

(user input is in bold)Sample Output:
[Laser Disc Collection]
How many movies do you have? 10
Movie 1:
*Enter Title: Back to the Future
*Enter Genre: Science Fiction

*Enter Rating: 5.0
Movie 2:
*Enter Title: Twin Peaks Season 1
*Enter Genre: Mystery-Horror Serial Drama
*Enter Release Year: 1992
*Enter Rating: 4.5
//Keep going for all 10 movies (THIS IS NOT PART OF THE OUTPUT)
