The Nobel peace prize is awarded to persons who excel in various fields of endeavor. Currently only a handful of panel members determine and choose people who qualify for a particular award based on nomination from a wide range of disciplines’. This process of selecting the winners for the various prices have been criticized as being biased especially from the side of the panel members. The committee of experts at a general council meeting decided to automate the selection process. On a trial bases, you have been engaged to develop a system that will automatically select a nominee as the winner of the award in two categories (peace and science). Your program should have the following methodsalities. a) You are to define a class named NobelAward. Your class must have two methodss, one of the methodss should be named AwardCategory, and the other methods should be named AwardWinner. Your AwardCategory must have a string argument and return the string when called. Your AwardWinner methods must contain two parameters, one should be a string called name and the other an integer called votes. When called (AwardWinner) it should return the name and highest votes as the winner for a particular category.  b) For each category, your program should request for three different names of nominee and number of votes for each nominee. Your methods in “a” above should select the name of the nominee with the highest number of votes as the winner for that category. If there is a tie, in the number of votes, then all the nominee should be declared as winners. NB: Programming language is Java
