Write a static method named graduation that takes a student's GPA, total credit count, and honors credit count as parameters, and returns a String representing that student's graduation status. The total credit count already includes the honors credits. The graduation status to return is determined by the following rules:
-Students must have completed at least 180 credits with a GPA of at least 2.0 to graduate. A student who does not meet both of these constraints should receive a return value of "not graduating".
-Students who do have enough credits to graduate and sufficiently high GPAs will receive one of four return values depending on the GPA and number of honors credits:
-All students with GPAs between 2.0 and 3.6 receive a return value of "graduating".
-Students with fewer than 15 honors credits receive a return of "cum laude" if their GPA is at least 3.6 but less than 3.8, and a return of "magna cum laude" if their GPA is at least 3.8.
-Students with 15 or more honors credits receive a return of "magna cum laude" if their GPA is at least 3.6 but less than 3.8, and a return of "summa cum laude" if their GPA is at least 3.8.
Here are some example calls to the method and their resulting return values:
$\begin{array}{l|l}\text { Call } & \text { Value Returned } \\\hline \text { graduation }(3.87,178,16) & \text { "not graduating" } \\\text { graduation }(1.5,199,30) & \text { "not graduating" } \\\text { graduation }(2.7,380,50) & \text { "graduating" } \\\text { graduation }(3.6,180,14) & \text { "cum laude" } \\\text { graduation }(3.62,200,20) & \text { "magna cum laude" } \\\text { graduation }(3.93,185,0) & \text { "magna cum laude" } \\\text { graduation }(3.85,190,15) & \text { "surma cum laude" }\end{array}$ You may assume that the GPA will be between 0.0 and 4.0 and that both credit counts will be non-negative integers.
