Suppose you have a Town class that describes the demographics of small towns. The vital statistics described by this class are numberOfAdults and numberOfChildren. These vital statistics are encapsulated and not directly accessible from outside the class.
Write an initialize method that establishes initial values of instance variables. Write a simulateBirth method which simulates the birth of one child. Write a printStatistics method that prints out the current vital statistics.
Write a main method that creates a town called newHome. Then call initialize to establish initial values for newHome. Simulate the birth of a pair of twins and print out newHome's statistics.
