**Project Title: Simple Shape Hierarchy**

**Description:**
You are tasked with creating a Simple Shape Hierarchy to
represent various geometric shapes. The project should
demonstrate your understanding of inheritance,
encapsulation, method overriding, and method
overloading in Java.

**Classes:**
1. `Shape`: This is a base class representing a generic
shape. It should have an attribute for color and a method
to display the color of the shape.

2. `Circle`: This is a subclass of `Shape` representing a


circle. It should have additional attributes for the radius
and appropriate methods to calculate the area and
perimeter of a circle. Override the specific display
method to show the circle-specific color information
along with the shape name "Circle".
3. `Rectangle`: This is a subclass of `Shape` representing a
rectangle. It should have additional attributes for length
and width, and appropriate methods to calculate the
area and perimeter of a rectangle. Override the specific
display method to show the rectangle-specific color
information along with the shape name "Rectangle".

4. `Triangle`: This is a subclass of `Shape` representing a


triangle. It should have additional attributes for the base
and height, and appropriate methods to calculate the
area and perimeter of a triangle. Override the specific
display method to show the triangle-specific color
information along with the shape name "Triangle".

**Requirements:**
1. Implement the `Shape` class with an attribute for color
and a method to display the color of the shape.
2. Implement the `calculateArea()` and
`calculatePerimeter()` methods in each subclass (`Circle`,
`Rectangle`, `Triangle`) to provide specific
implementations based on the shape's attributes.

3. Use encapsulation to protect the attributes of each


class and provide public methods (getters and setters) to
access and modify them.

4. Override the specific display method in each subclass


to provide specific color information and include the
name of the corresponding shape.

5. Create a main class to demonstrate the usage of the


`Shape` hierarchy by creating instances of different
shapes, setting their attributes (color, border thickness,
etc.), calculating their areas and perimeters, displaying
their specific color information along with the shape
names, and showing the results.

**Additional Features (Optional):**


If you want to add a bit more complexity to the project,
you can consider the following features:

1. Sorting Shapes: Implement a method to sort an array


of shapes based on their areas or perimeters.

2. 3D Shapes: Extend the hierarchy to include 3D shapes


and calculate their volumes and surface areas.
