Objetive
Create a java program that can store up to 2000 "to-do tasks". For each task, it must keep the following data:
• Date (a set of 3 data: day, month and year)
• Description of task
• Level of importance (1 to 10)
• Category
The program should allow the user the following operations:
1 - Add a new task (the date must "seem correct": day 1 to 31, month 1 to 12, year between 1000 and 3000).
2 - Show the tasks between two certain dates (day, month and year). If the user presses Enter without specifying date, it will be taken as "today". It must display the number of each record, the date (DD/ MM/YYYY), description, category and importance, all in the same line, separated with hyphens.
3 - Find tasks that contain a certain text (in description or category, not case sensitive). It will display number, date and description (only 50 letters, in case it was be longer). The user should be notified if none is found.
4 - Update a record (it will ask for the number, will display the previous value of each field and the user can press Enter not to modify any of the data). The user should be warned (but not asked again) if he enters an incorrect record number. It is not necessary to validate any of the fields.
5 - Delete some data, between two positions indicated by the user. The user should be warned (but not asked again) if he enters any incorrect record number. Each record to be deleted must be displayed, and the user must be asked for confirmation.
6 - Sort the data alphabetically by date and (if two dates are the same) by description.
7 - Find Duplicates: If two records have the same description, both will be displayed on-screen.
Q - Quit (end the application; as we do not store the information, it will be lost).
(Hint: you can know the current date using DateTime.Now.Day, DateTime.Now.Month and DateTime.Now.Year).
