In the program, the class 'Point', which you are familiar from the beginning of the tutorial, is defined.

Implement a 'comparison method' for the class:
public int compareTo(Point anotherPoint)

The comparison value of two points is based on the distance of the points from the origin - the greater the distance, the "larger" the point.
Note that the class already has a necessary method for calculating the distance.

        points.add(new Point(-4,-3));
