1. Write a Book class that has at least two properties, name and price.This class implements the Comparable interface by specifying that the size relationship between two Book class instances is the size relationship of the price attribute of the two Book class instances in the compareTo() method of the interface.In the main function, select the appropriate collection type to store several objects of the Book class, create a new Book class object, and check which objects in the collection are equal.The results of the query are as follows:

package generic paradigm;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;


public class Book implements Comparable{
    String name;
    float price;
    public Book(String name,float price){
        this.name=name;
        this.price=price;
    }
    public static void main(String args[]){
        List<Book> list=new ArrayList<Book>();
        Book b1=new Book("Java Basic Tutorials",28.0f);
        Book b2=new Book("Database Technology",29.0f);
        Book b3=new Book("C++Basic Tutorials",27.3f);
        list.add(b1);
        list.add(b2);
        list.add(b3);

        Book b4=new Book("<Pattern Recognition",29.0f);
        System.out.println("New book:"+b4.name+"With the following books:");
        for (int i = 0;i< list.size();i++){
            Book book =(Book)list.get(i);
            int index=book.compareTo(b4);
            if(index==0){
            System.out.println(book.name); 

                }
            }
        System.out.println("The prices are the same,"+"Specific prices are:"+b4.price+"element");
    }
    public int compareTo(Object obj) {
        Book b=(Book)obj;
        if(b.price>this.price)
        {
            return 1;
        }
        else if(b.price<this.price)
        {
            return -1;
        }
        else
            return 0;
        }
    }

2. Write an application where users enter names and scores of students from two text boxes. The program displays the names and scores of these students in a text area sorted by their grades.
The program runs as follows:
