1. Create a class called Elevator that can be moved between floors in an N-storey building. Elevator uses a constructor to initialize the number of floors (N) in the building when the object is instantiated. Elevator also has a default constructor that creates a five- (5) storey building. The Elevator class has a termination condition that requires the elevator to be moved to the main (i.e., first) floor when the object is cleaned up. Write a finalize() method that satisfies this termination condition and verifies the condition by printing a message to the output, Elevator ending: elevator returned to the first floor. In main(), test at least five (5) possible scenarios that can occur when Elevator is used in a building with many floors (e.g., create, move from one floor to another, etc.). Hint: Termination occurs when the instance is set to null. You may wish to investigate “garbage collection” for this exercise. When solving this problem make sure that the user can interact with the program and choose which floor they want
