Suppose that you and I are friends on Facebook and you want

Suppose that you and I are friends on Facebook. and you want to figure out the friends we have in common ne way of doing this would be to treat your friends list as an array and my friends list as another array. Then the problem of finding our common friends would be solvable by finding the intersection (set of common elements) between those two arrays. Assume that each friend is represented by a unique numerical ID number. (Using a person\'s name directly isn\'t a good idea, because it\'s possible for more than one person to have the same name.) Write a program that accomplishes this task. Your program should include these three methods: This method should allow\' the user to enter in a list of ID numbers, store those numbers into an array, and return file array that was created. Before allowing the user to enter the list, the method should ask the user to enter the list, the method should ask the user to enter how large the array should be. This method should take two arrays of friend IDs as parameters and display a list of all the IDs that appear in both a and b (regardless of order). The method should also display the count of common friends. Assume that both a and b contain distinct elements - that is. within each array there are no numbers repeated. For example, if the first array contained the ID numbers {5.4, 6, 7.2} and the second array contained the ID numbers (6, 5, 2, 10, 4, 11. 15}. then calling this method should display that there are four friends in common. IDs 5.4, 6. and 2. The main method should call readFriendlDs twice to allow the user to enter in two lists of friend IDs. Then it should call displayCommonFriedIDs on those two lists to show the intersection.
