***Programming language is Java. After looking at this scenario please look over the requirements at the bottom (in bold) THIS IS ALL THAT WAS PROVIDED. PLEASE SPECIFY ANY QUESTIONS IF THIS IS NOT CLEAR (don't just say more info, be specific)***

GMU in partnership with a local sports camp is offering a swimming camp for ages 10-18. GMU plans to make it a regular event, possibly once a quarter. You have been tasked to create an object-oriented solution to register, enroll and track the participants for the swimming camp classes. Because of limited space a maximum of 60 participants are allowed at a given time. However, it is possible that this number will change in the future based on the success of the camp and availability of additional space.

• Your object-oriented solution should provide participants registration. For each participant, it should capture name, age, sex, cell phone number and email address. Cell phone numbers are only accepted when they are in the format: yyy.yyy.yyyy, such as 703.993.3565.

All email addresses must be validated according to the following rules:

o The characters ‘@’ and ‘.’ must both be in the email address

o Only one ‘@’ is permitted in the email address

o The last occurrence of ‘.’ must follow the ‘@’ in the email address

o There must be at least 2 characters in the email address after the last ‘.’

o The email address must begin with a letter or digit

o The email address must be limited to the following characters: letters, digits, ‘_’, ‘@’, and ‘.’

The training is organized into 4 different swimming strokes and style classes:

1. Freestyle

2. Breaststroke

3. Backstroke

4. Butterfly

Each participant can enroll into any of the 4 classes, however they may only be enrolled in up to three classes at a time. Participants are only permitted to be enrolled into classes after they have been added/registered to the system. The camp is divided into 4 different zones: EAST, WEST, NORTH and SOUTH. All 4 strokes/styles classes are offered in all zones. A participant must enroll for all stroke/style classes at one zone. For example, a participant cannot take Freestyle in WEST zone and Butterfly in NORTH zone. Each swimming stroke class is billed at a rate of $100 per stroke with the exception of Butterfly, which costs $150.

Some participants are sponsored by GMU approved organizations. These participants will get a percentage discount in the total cost paid to enroll. The object-oriented solution you create must allow for the creation of a sponsored participant. Sponsored Participants function in the same way as regular participants, but they must also track the name of the organization and the percentage discount obtained. For example, a sponsored participant enrolled in 2 stroke/style classes (Backstroke and Butterfly) with a 10% discount percentage, will pay $225.00. (($100 + $150) * .10). The percentage discount is different for each organization. Your solution must collect this information during registration

Based on the provided information, create an efficient, object-oriented solution with good design principles that will allow the camp organizer to track all participants being added and enrolling in different swimming classes. To do this, the solution should have a menu with the following capabilities:

• Register: This capability will allow a user to add, but not enroll to any specific swimming class, either as a regular participant or as a sponsored participant. The participant must be of ages 10 to 18. The system will capture the participant’s name, age, sex, cell phone number and email address. Providing all of this information is the only way a participant is added and registered to the system.

• Enroll: This capability will allow a user to select any participant that has been registered, but not enrolled to enroll in different swimming classes based on the rules described above. The application must prevent a participant already enrolled from being enrolled again.

• Remove Enrolled participant: This capability will allow a user to select any enrolled participant and remove them from the solution.

• Print Participant Record: This capability will allow a user to select any participant and print a well-formatted report containing all information about the participant, including the total amount the participant pays for his/her courses, regardless if the participant is a sponsored participant or a regular participant.

• Quit: This capability will allow a user to end working with the solution. It will print a message thanking the user for using the solution.

Other Requirements:

Your solution must use object-oriented techniques, including appropriate constants, constructors, accessors, validating mutators, and special purpose methods, including a toString() method. No points earned for a procedural solution.

• Your solution must contain reasonably appropriate validation. Try to think about what might be considered appropriate as you are designing your solution beyond what has already been explicitly provided.

• Your solution must demonstrate use of arrays

• Your solution must demonstrate the concept of inheritance.

• Your solution must be designed as a modular solution using methods other than main, with each method performing one task.

• Your solution must not import any Java library other than JOptionPane.

• Your solution may not use regular expressions for validation.
