Answer 1

I will use JAVA to answer the question.

The class ContestResult could be:

public class ContestResult {

String winner;

String secondPlace;

String thirdPlace;

public void setWinner(String e){ //set position of winner.

this.winner = e;

}

public String getWinner(){ //get position winner

return this.winner;

}

public void setSecondPlace(String e){ //set position of second place.

this.secondPlace = e;

}

public String getSecondPlace(){ //get second place

return this.secondPlace;

}

public void setThirdPosition(String e){ //set position of third place.

this.thirdPlace = e;

}

public String getThirdPlace(){ //get third place

return this.thirdPosition;

}

}
