Car Class
Write a class named Car that has the following fields:
- yearModel. The yearModel field is an int that holds the car’s year model.
- make. The make field references a String object that holds the make of the car.
- speed. The speed field is an int that holds the car’s current speed.
In addition, the class should have the following constructor and other methods.
- Constructor. The constructor should accept the car’s year model and make as arguments. These values should be assigned to the object’s yearModel and make fields. The constructor should also assign 0 to the speed field.
- Accessors. Appropriate accessor methods should get the values stored in an object’s yearModel, make, and speed fields.
- accelerate. The accelerate method should add 5 to the speed field each time it is called.
- brake. The brake method should subtract 5 from the speed field each time it is called.

- Design a class called Date that has integer data members to store month , day, and year. The class should have two constructors; a default constructor that accepts no parameters, and a three-parameter constructor that allows the date to be set by the programmer. If the user creates a Date object without passing any arguments, or if any of the values passed are invalid, the default values of 1, 1, 2001 (i.e., January 1, 2001) should be used. The class should have three (3) member functions to print the date in the following formats: 3/15/16 March 15, 2016 15 March 2016 Demonstrate the class by writing a program that uses it. Be sure your program only accepts reasonable values for month and day. The month should be between 1 and 12. The day should be between 1 and the number of days in the selected month.

This constructor receives an integer argument and assigns the value to the occupants field.
