Put it all together

1.

Create a new class named Student, based on HeapItem. It should have instance variables to contain the name and test score for each student, and it should implement the Comparable abstract class.

2.

Create a new class named Sorter that will contain main. Sorter will read a file, create Student objects, put the Student objects in a Heap, and then remove and print them (in sorted order). You might want to use Balance.java (in the Balance directory under coded solutions on the web page) as a template for Sorter, since it contains the basic loop for reading lines from a file.

3.

Test your program with a range of inputs including some cases with errors, and any other things that are likely to cause problems (names with more than two words, or with punctuation, or students with very large, negative, non-existent, or identical test scores).
