Question: (Target-Heart-Rate Calculator) While exercising, you can use a heart-rate monitor to see that your heart rate stays within a safe range suggested by your trainers and doctors.

According to the American Heart Association (AHA) (www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4736), the formula for calculating your maximum heart rate in beats per minute is 220 minus your age in years. Your target heart rate is a range that is 50-85% of your maximum heart rate. Create a class called Heart Rates. The class attributes should include the person's first name, last name and date of birth (consisting of separate attributes for the month, day and year of birth). Your class should have a constructor that receives this data as parameters. For each attribute provide set and get functions. The class also should include a function get Age that calculates and returns the person's age (in years), a function get Maximum Heart Rate that calculates and returns the person's maximum heart rate and a function get Target Heart Rate that calculates and returns the person's target heart rate. Since you do not yet know how to obtain the current date from the computer, function get Age should prompt the user to enter the current month, day and year before calculating the person's age. Write an application that prompts for the person's information, instantiates an object of class Heart Rates and prints the information from that object- including the person's first name, last name and date of birth-then calculates and prints the person's age in (years), maximum heart rate and target-heart-rate range.
