To randomly assign students to groups that have different sizes, we have here a Student object and a Group object, and some starter code to test them.

We would like to add to the tester to make sure the methods are working well, and eventually print the randomly assigned groups two ways:

1. The student list showing which group each student is in
2. The group list showing who is in each group

The format to make the wiki know who is in group is

@A: gabriela,  jamesb
@B: jackw, andrews

You have a choice in your approach. You could go through the students, randomly choose a group, and if the group is not full, add the student to the group, or else you could go through the groups, randomly choose a student, and if the student is not in a group, assign the student to that group.
