Define the method difference, as described in Exercise of Chapter 1, for the class LinkedBag.

Exercise

The difference of two collections is a new collection of the entries that would be left in one collection after removing those that also occur in the second. Add a method difference to the interface BagInterface for the ADT bag that returns as a new bag the difference of the bag receiving the call to the method and the bag that is the method’s one argument. Include sufficient comments to fully specify the method.

Note that the difference of two bags might contain duplicate items. For example, if object x occurs five times in one bag and twice in another, the difference of these bags contains x three times. Specifically, suppose that bag1 and bag2 are Bag objects, where Bag implements BagInterface; bag1 contains the String objects a, b, and c; and bag2 contains the String objects b, b, d, and e. After the statement

BagInterface leftOver1 = bag1.difference(bag2);

executes, the bag leftOver1 contains the strings a and c. After the statement BagInterface leftOver2 = bag2.difference(bag1); executes, the bag leftOver2 contains the strings b, d, and e. Note that difference does not affect the contents of bag1 and bag2.
