    Add to class Project a new method compare(), which receives an object of class Project as an argument and 
    checks whether the attributes of the calling object and the given object are equal and returns the result 
    of comparison as text. Define a list of objects of class Project and use a loop to go through the list and 
    compare them with each other.
