Implement a solution to the following problem in a program Class called AnimalOf

Question

Implement a solution to the following problem in a program Class called AnimalOfTheYear.

In Chinese culture, each birth year is associated with a symbolic animal. For example, 1972 is associated with ”rat”, and we say a person born in 1972 was born in the year of “rat”. Here is the algorithm that you must use to calculate the symbolic animal of a year.
1- Assign to value the result of the following expression:
( year -1972) % 12
where % is the modulus or remainder operator and year is the year of interest.
2 - Assign the animal based on the following table:

Value: Animal:

0 Rat

1 Ox

2 Tiger

3 Rabbit

4 Dragon

5 Snake

6 Horse

7 Sheep

8 Monkey

9 Rooster

10 Dog

11 Pig

”

“Your solution should ask the user to enter the year they are interested in finding out the associated animal, and then it should display, in an informative, well formatted manner, both the year entered and the associated animal. Your solution must adhere to the following:
-You are to use the JOptionPane class for all dialogues with the user.
-You are required to use the switch statement. This is the purpose of the lab: to give you experience with this decision structure.
-You may use only one JOptionPane statement associated with the display of the results of the switch statement. In other words, you may not have a JOptionPane.showMessageDialog statement inside each case.

Within the whole source code file, there should be only three JOptionPane statements: one to create the introduction pane, one to create the pane for the entry of the year and one for the pane to display of the results and terminating message.

On user prompt, make sure you tell your user what to enter as well as give them an example and if appropriate, a range.

Examples of a correct program would output the following:

Year Animal

1987 Rabbit

1973 Ox

1995 Pig

2014 Horse

2001 Snake

All in JAVA and JOptionPane
