Write a Heptadeca class that encapsulates a Heptadeca number value. A Heptadeca number is one with 17 digits: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F, G. The methods the class has are: public void read(), public void set(String), public void set(int), public void set(Heptadeca),public Heptadeca get(), public Heptadeca add(Heptadeca), public Heptadeca subtract(Heptadeca), public Heptadeca multiply(Heptadeca), public Heptadeca divide(Heptadeca), public Heptadeca add(int), public Heptadeca subtract(int), public Heptadeca multiply(int), public Heptadeca divide(int), public Heptadeca add(String), public Heptadeca subtract(String), public Heptadeca multiply(String), public Heptadeca divide(String), public boolean equals(Heptadeca), and public String toString(). Write private methods to check for valid character input, remove the base h character and set the sign. Your class must consider both positive and negative values. Your class should have at least 3 constructors: a default constructor, an explicit constructor with an integer argument and an explicit constructor with a String argument. I will provide a main program as the demo. Recall the nature of numbers and their construction. 137₁₀ is 1 * 10² + 3 * 10¹ + 7 * 10⁰. In the same way 1A9₁₇ would be 1 * 17² + 10* 17¹ + 9 * 17⁰. Given the decimal number 137₁₀ the digits can be determined using the integer operators / and %. 137 % 10 gives the 7, 137/10 gives 13. 13%10 gives 3 and 13/10 gives 1. 1%10 gives 1 and 1/10 gives 0. The digits base 10 of 137 are 1, 3, 7. The number 137₁₀ converted to base 5 would be 137%5 that gives 2, 137/5 gives 27. 27%5 gives 2, 27/5 gives 5. 5%5 gives 0, 5/5 gives 1. 1%5 gives 1 and 1/5 gives 0. This gives the base 5 number 1022₅. 137₁₀ converted to base 17 would be 137%17 gives 1, 137/17 gives 8. 8%17 gives 8 and 8/17 gives 0. The number 137₁₀ is therefore 81₁₇.
