Mark Grand Implement It! You
are the lead programmer at a collection agency.
Your task is to create a delinquency notice (object), which could be
sent out up to 3 times to a person (depending on how delinquent they are!). The first notice should be nice, the second
firm but cordial, and the final downright nasty. The notice has 3 parts: ·
the
greeting, which takes a first and last name ·
the
message body, which takes the amount owed and the days delinquent ·
the
closing line, which takes nothing. Implement
this using the Builder pattern. Is the
