Student database creating a program that will be used to manipulate a student database. This portion of the database will keep track of student data to include the students name(first, middle, last), date-of-birth, the student's id number, the student's major, and the student's GPA.Based arrays and objects,use 2 parallel arrays of references that point to the objects. The first array will be an array of references pointing to Student objects. Each object will contain the students' name (first, middle, last), id number, major, and GPA. Each element in the array will point (be a reference) to a different Student object. need to create a Student class that contains a student's first, middle, and last name, a student id number, major, and GPA (these will be the data members). This class should have 2 constructors, accessors for each data member, a single mutator member to reset the student data (name,id number, major, and GPA). class should also have a toString() method to print out the data as well as an equals method to compare two student names for equality.
A second parallel array should be an array of references to Date objects that will house the birthdates for each student member. (i already written the Date class
public class Date
{
private int month;
private int day;
private int year;
//-------constructor--------------------------------
public Date()
{
month = 01;

year = 01;

public Date(int mt,int ds,int yr)
{
//setDate(mt, ds, yr);
month = mt;
day = ds;
year = yr;
}
//--------------mutator--------------------------
public void setDate(int mt, int ds,int yr)
{
if (1 <= yr)
year = yr;
else
yr = 1;
if (1 <= mt && mt <= 12)
month = mt;
else if (0 < mt && mt >12)
System.out.println(" The month " + mt + " is invalid");
if (1 <= ds && ds <= 31)
day = ds;
else if (0 < ds && ds > 31)
System.out.println(" The day " + ds + " is invalid");
else if (0 < ds && ds > 29)
System.out.println(" The day for Febuary " + ds + " is invalid");

Since these are parallel arrays, the data for student[i] in the student array will correspond
with birthdate[i] in the birthday array. Both of the parallel arrays will be located in driver (main) program. The Student Class and the Date class will be located in the same folder along with driver program, so that driver program can access these classes and their
methods as needed.
What program should do (Tasks):
i) Read data in from an external file that
ii) Print (to the screen) all the data for any given student (including the birthdate)
in an easy readable format.
ii) Your program should prompt the user for the name of a student, search through the list, and be able to print out the data for that student.
ii) Your program should prompt the user for a month (as an integer) be able to print out a list of all students who have birthdays in that month and wish them a Happy Birthday.
Structure of Program:
In a single folder should have a Date Class file, a Student Class file, the infile, and the main driver program.
The driver program (main) will contain the 2 parallel arrays.
