Encapsulation Practice

The base code has two classes called Vehicle and Car. Some of the fields need to be hidden while some need to be exposed.

Adjust the visibility of the type and modelYear fields in Vehicle such that they are not accessible from outside the class, including derived classes;
Create a new method called getModelYear inside the Vehicle class such that it returns the modelYear. This method should be accessible from anywhere. This method will allow the users of this class to access the modelYear but not be able to modify it from outside;
The ownerName and fuel properties should not be accessible from anywhere;
Make a method called getFuel which returns the value of fuel;
Make a method called addFuel which takes in a float argument called fuel. Inside the method, add the value of fuel to the property fuel (this.fuel).
