9.2 The Stock class. 
Design a class named Stock that contains:

• A string data field named symbol for the stock's symbol.
• A string data field named name for the stock's name.
• A double data field named previousClosingPrice that stores the stock price for the previoous day.
• A double data field named currentPrice that stores the stock price for the current time.
• A constructor that creates a stock with the specified symbol and name.

A method named getChangePercent() that returns the percentage changed from previousClosingPrice to currentPrice.

public class Exercise09_02 {
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    Stock stock1 = new Stock("SUNW", "Sun MicroSystems Inc.");
    stock1.setPreviousClosingPrice (100);

    // Set current price
    stock1.setCurrentPrice (90);

    // Display stock info
    System.out.println("Previous Closing Price: " + stock1.getPreviousClosingPrice());
    System.out.println("Current Price: " + stock1.getCurrentPrice());
    System.out.println("Price Change: " +  stock1.getChangePercent() * 100 + "%");
  }
}

{
  private String symbol;

  }
  
  public double getChangePercent()
  {
