Repeat Project, but instead define a class of sets that implements the interface SetInterface. Recall from Project in Chapter 1 that a set is a bag whose entries are distinct. Define SetInterface by extending BagInterface, as defined in Listing in Chapter 1.

LISTING A Java interface for a class of bags

/**An interface that describes the operations of a bag of objects.@author Frank M. Carrano*/public interface BagInterface{  /** Gets the current number of entries in this bag.  @return the integer number of entries currently in the bag */  public int getCurrentSize();  /** Sees whether this bag is full.  @return true if the bag is full, or false if not */  public boolean isFull();  /** Sees whether this bag is empty.  @return true if the bag is empty, or false if not */  public boolean isEmpty();  /** Adds a new entry to this bag.  @param newEntry the object to be added as a new entry  @return true if the addition is successful, or false if not */  public boolean add(T newEntry);  /** Removes one unspecified entry from this bag, if possible.  @return either the removed entry, if the removal  was successful, or null */  public T remove();  /** Removes one occurrence of a given entry from this bag,  if possible.  @param anEntry the entry to be removed  @return true if the removal was successful, or false if not */  public boolean remove(T anEntry);  /** Removes all entries from this bag. */  public void clear();  /** Counts the number of times a given entry appears in this bag.  @param anEntry the entry to be counted  @return the number of times anEntry appears in the bag */  public int getFrequencyOf(T anEntry);  /** Tests whether this bag contains a given entry.  @param anEntry the entry to locate  @return true if the bag contains anEntry, or false otherwise */  public boolean contains(T anEntry);  /** Creates an array of all entries that are in this bag.  @return a newly allocated array of all the entries in the bag */  public T[] toArray();} // end BagInterface

Define a class of bags that implements the interface BagInterface, as defined in Listing in Chapter 1. Use an instance of the class ArrayList to contain a bag’s entries. Then write a program that adequately demonstrates your new class. Note that you might have to handle exceptions thrown by methods of ArrayList.
