Create a program that receives a student's name as input and then outputs a threecharacter ID for that student. This three-character ID would be used to create a longer, unique ID but that is not a part of this particular program. Prompt the user to enter a student's name. You can assume that the student's name will have either two or three parts to it, i.e. it will either be first-name last-name or firstname middle-name last-name. The ID is created as follows. If the user enters a three part name, the ID number is created by taking their initials, i.e. the first character of each part of the name, converted to lower-case characters where necessary. For example, the name “David Robert Jones" would lead to an ID of drj. If the user enters a two-part name, the ID is again created by taking their initials, converted to lower-case characters where necessary, but this time substituting an “x" character for the missing middle name. For example, the name “Richard Starkey" would lead to an ID of rxs. All upper-case letters must be converted to lower-case in the ID. Your class must contain the following method: public String createID(String input) This method receives the input name as a single String and returns the generated ID as a String. If the input string is not valid then this method should return the value null. The input is not valid if:  It is null.  It is empty.  It does not contain either two or three parts.

Create a program that receives a student's name as input and then outputs a threecharacter ID for that student. This three-character ID would be used to create a longer,
unique ID but that is not a part of this particular program.
Prompt the user to enter a student's name. You can assume that the student's name
will have either two or three parts to it, i.e. it will either be first-name last-name or firstname middle-name last-name.
The ID is created as follows. If the user enters a three part name, the ID number is
created by taking their initials, i.e. the first character of each part of the name,
converted to lower-case characters where necessary. For example, the name “David
Robert Jones" would lead to an ID of drj.
If the user enters a two-part name, the ID is again created by taking their initials,
converted to lower-case characters where necessary, but this time substituting an “x"
character for the missing middle name. For example, the name “Richard Starkey"
would lead to an ID of rxs.
All upper-case letters must be converted to lower-case in the ID.
Your class must contain the following method:
public String createID(String input)
This method receives the input name as a single String and returns the generated ID
as a String.
If the input string is not valid then this method should return the value null. The input
is not valid if:
 It is null.
 It is empty.
 It does not contain either two or three parts.
