Question

JAVA

Given the company and Employee interface, create a findLeastPaid() method (that will do the opposite of whats below). instead of finding the the best paid convert it find the lowest paid person.

Given the Company and FullTimeEmployee classes and the Employee interface,
write a Java program that reads in a file of full time employees with each line of
input containing the name of the employee (String) and gross Salary (double) and stores
them in an array list. Then using the arraylist of stored employees, find and print the
less paid employee (name) and his/her pay. If there is more than one such, print any one
lesst paid employee information.
