This Java code is a driver program that demonstrates how to use the TextBook and Magazine classes that extend the Publication class.

Here's a detailed breakdown:

LocalDate Import: This line imports the LocalDate class from the java.time package. LocalDate is a class that represents a date (year, month, day).
main Method: The main method is the entry point for any Java application. The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) calls this method when the program starts.
Creating a TextBook Object: It creates a new TextBook object named myTextBook by calling the TextBook constructor with the parameters "Learn Java", "Bart Simpson", 759, "8th Edition", and "Computer Science".
Printing TextBook Information: The System.out.println(myTextBook.PrintInformation()); statement prints the information of the myTextBook object to the console by calling the PrintInformation method of the myTextBook object.
Creating a LocalDate Object: It creates a LocalDate object named myDate representing the date August 30, 2022. This date object will be used as an argument while creating a Magazine object.
Creating a Magazine Object: It creates a new Magazine object named myMagazine by calling the Magazine constructor with the parameters "Time Magazine", "Time Life Publisher", 83, "Monthly", and myDate.
Printing Magazine Information: The System.out.println(myMagazine.PrintInformation()); statement prints the information of the myMagazine object to the console by calling the PrintInformation method of the myMagazine object.

now iterate through the array and display the magazines and textbooks 
		for(Publication pPubs : myPublications)
		{
			System.out.println(pPubs.PrintInformation());
		}		
		
	}//end of Main

}//end of class
