For the question below, assume the following implementation of a Person class:

public class Person {
    private int age;
    private String name;
    private String grade;

    public Person(int a, String n, String gr) {
        age = a;
        name = n;
        grade = gr;
    }

    public int getAge() {
        return age;
    }


    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }


    public String getGrade() {
        return grade;
    }

}
