Q\ Write a Java program to create a class called "Book" with instance variables title,
author, and price. Implement a default constructor and two parameterized constructors:

• One constructor takes title and author as parameters.

• The other constructor takes title, author, and price as parameters.
• Print the values of the variables for each constructor.
Book Output:
- title: String Book1 Title: Unknown
- author: String Book1 Author: Unknown
- price: double Book1 Price: 0.0
Book2 Title: Amatka
+ Book() Book2 Author: Karin Tidbeck
+ Book(title: String, author: String) Book2 Price: 0.0
+ Book(title: String, author: String, price: double) Book3 Title: Altered Carbon
+ main(args: String[]): void Book3 Author: Richard K. Morgan
Book3 Price: 18.9

// Define the Book class // Parameterized constructor (title, author)
public class Book { public Book(String title, String author) {
// Private instance variables // Initialize title with the provided parameter
private String title; this.title = title;
private String author; // Initialize author with the provided parameter
private double price; this.author = author;
// Initialize price to 0.0
// Default constructor this.price = 0.0;
public Book() { }
// Initialize title to "Unknown"
this.title = "Unknown"; // Parameterized constructor (title, author, price)
// Initialize author to "Unknown" public Book(String title, String author, double price) {
this.author = "Unknown"; // Initialize title with the provided parameter
// Initialize price to 0.0 this.title = title;
this.price = 0.0; // Initialize author with the provided parameter
} this.author = author;
// Initialize price with the provided parameter
this.price = price;

}
// Create a new Book object using the parameterized } Output:
constructor (title, author) Book1 Title: Unknown
Book book2 = new Book("Amatka", "Karin Tidbeck"); Book1 Author: Unknown
// Print the values of the instance variables for book2 Book1 Price: 0.0
System.out.println("Book2 Title: " + book2.title); Book2 Title: Amatka
System.out.println("Book2 Author: " + book2.author); Book2 Author: Karin Tidbeck
System.out.println("Book2 Price: " + book2.price); Book2 Price: 0.0
Book3 Title: Altered Carbon
Book3 Author: Richard K. Morgan
Book3 Price: 18.9
