Question 1 (Marks: 45)

Create an abstract class named Product which has a String field for the name of the product and a
double field for the price of the product. Within this class create a constructor that requires the
product name and add two (2) get() methods to return the product name and the price of the
product. Include an abstract method named setPrice().

Create two (2) child classes of Product called Perishable and NonPerishable. Each must include the
setPrice() method that will set the price for a Perishable product to R11.99 and R19.99 for a
NonPerishable product. Write a constructor for each child class and include a call to the setPrice()
