2. Write a user-defined class called Person. This class should have private instance variables defined as:

private int age;private String firstName;private String lastName;
In addition, the class should have a constructor defined as:

public Person(String _firstName, String _lastName, int _age)
that assigns values to the private instance variables. The class should also include the following public methods:

public void printName() - prints the person's namepublic void printAge() - prints the person's agepublic void printAgeGroup() - prints the person's age group (i.e. 20's. 30's, etc.)
Only include this last method if it is necessary to include logic in the assignment.
