When Kim Smith graduated with a degree in civil engineering, she pictured herself designing buildings and managing construction. She never imagined herself behind a computer writing reports. However, that is exactly where Kim finds herself today. She has just finished a major project: an environmental assessment of a plot of land on which a client wants to build an office park. Emily, the senior engineer on the project has asked Kim to write the client report. When Kim asked Emily if she could give her a model to follow, Kim pointed to the file cabinet and said, "Sure, you'll find lots of reports in there." Kim found a lot of reports: long ones, short ones, letter reports, and memo reports. The diversity confused her, but she was glad that she saved her business communication textbook from Concordia University. Kim begins writing her report using the 3x3 Writing Process. Her audience, the CEO of Halvorson Properties, wants to know whether it is safe to build an office park on the property he owns. Because this decision has significant financial and environmental effects, Kim decides to write a formal letter report that clearly communicates the message that the property is safe. Kim's research indicated that the site has not been affected by hazardous waste or contaminated groundwater. In the body of the report she will provide enough details about her methodology and findings to give Mr. Halvorson confidence in the assessment. With those decisions in mind. Kim sits down and write's the following report introduction: Dear Mr. Halvorson: At your request, we have conducted an investigation of the site defined by the attached survey map for the purposes of rendering an opinion as to whether the site contains hazardous waste or is being impacted by contaminated groundwater. Our investigation consisted of making soil borings and visual observations of the ground surface, vegetation, and drainage patterns and laboratory testing of soil samples. The testing included physical properties testing and chemical testing of the water extracted from the soil. In addition, we have examined various maps and aerial photos, contacted various government agencies, and contacted the power company in our efforts to determine whether the hazardous waste is known to have impacted the site. our findings are as follows: Your task is to revise Kim's introduction and rewrite it to promote clarity and conciseness.

Task:
Write a program that creates a class Apple and a tester to make sure the Apple class is crisp
and delicious.
Instructions:
First create a class called Apple
 The class Apple DOES NOT HAVE a main method
 Some of the attributes of Apple are
o Type: A string that describes the apple. It may only be of the following types:
 Red Delicious
 Golden Delicious
 Gala
 Granny Smith
o Weight: A decimal value representing the apple’s weight in kilograms. The
weight must be between 0kg and 2kg
o Price: The price per apple. This must be a non­negative decimal value.
 Create the Default Constructor – sets everything to default values and has no
parameters.
 Create Accessors and Mutators for each instance variable
o MAKE SURE THE MUTATORS CHECK FOR VALID VALUES!
 Create the following Methods
o toString() : Displays the values of the instance variables on the console.

Finally create a class called AppleTester
 This class DOES HAVE a main method
 Create at least 3 different types of apples
 Test if the accessors, mutators, and other methods work as intended.

Sample Output:
Welcome to the apple tester!!!
Creating the first apple!
