1. Class A has variable a, Class B extends from A which has b, Class C extends from Class B which has c. Set values for those variables. Write a clone method which returns a deep copy. For example ClassA a = new ClassC(5); which will print 5,4,3 set by constructors in those classes. ClassA x = a.myClone(); x.print() should also print 5,4,3.
