his is an individual assignment. You will design the administration program for a veterinary office: This office attends to three different kinds of animals: Dogs, Birds, and Fish. You are to capture these with their respective classes. Each subclass of animals will have 5 different varieties. You are to define what those are for each kind of animal.

You should keep track, for every animal, the following information:

• Owner.
• Name of the animal.
• Age of the animal.
• Medical history: A list of diseases, and a status for each: current or past.
• A list of vaccinations, if applicable.
• Current appointments.

Appointments are their own entity, so this should captured with a class, containing date and time, and client.

You should also have a class for owners with information like name, address, and phone number.

Here's the functionality you must provide:

• See a list of all appointments, and change the status from outstanding to resolved. When an appointment is resolved, it is removed from the list.
• Search appointments by owner and by date.
• Search medical records by animal name, owner, and animal kind (like show all appointments for Dogs).
• From the screen of the record of a particular animal, check appointments, and add appontments.
• The whole registry can be saved and restored to/from a file.

For all the search functionalities you are to implement it using a search function that uses a Java Comparator for each case (say search(T[] list, Comparator<T> comp)). You are also required to handle all input problem on the UI (like the user entering wrong kind of input, say a number instead of a letter) using Java's exception handling.
