Create a public class StringAppender, which stores a single String and allows Strings to be appended to it. Here's how it works. Provide a public constructor taking a single String that sets the initial state of the StringAppender. assert that the String passed to the constructor is not null. The saved String should be private, so do not provide a setter or getter for it. Also provide a method append that accepts a single String, appends it to the saved String, and returns the new String, append should also assert that the passed String is not null. When complete, here is how your class should work: 1 StringAppender appender = new StringAppender ("pets"); 2 System.out.println(appender.append("gracie")); // prints "petsgracie" 3 System.out.println(appender.append("xyz")); // prints "petsgraciexyz" 4 System.out.println(appender.append(null)); // fails.
