Here I am, taking some awesome notes about Java:

public void sayHello (String name) {
    System.out.println(String.format("Hello, %s", name));
}

Your task is to build a UI around the REST Countries API.

The UI must do the following:

Allow the user to choose a region of the world (Asia, Europe, Oceania, etc)
Once a region is chosen, allow the user to select a country within that region (e.g. if the user chooses Europe, they can then choose France, Germany and others, but not New Zealand)
Once the user chooses a country, display the following information about that country:
- As a page title, the country’s common name and flag, e.g. Germany 🇩🇪

	# Meet the Beatles:

	beatles = [
	{"name": "John Lennon", "birth_year": 1940, "death_year": 1980, "instrument": "piano"},
	{"name": "Paul McCartney", "birth_year": 1942, "death_year": None, "instrument": "bass"},
	{"name": "George Harrison", "birth_year": 1943, "death_year": 2001, "instrument": "guitar"},
	{"name": "Ringo Starr", "birth_year": 1940, "death_year": None, "instrument": "drums"}
	]

	# Use the `beatles` list above to answer the following questions:

	# If you come from bash you might have to change your $PATH.
	# export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH

	# Path to your oh-my-zsh installation.
	export ZSH="/Users/alanrussell/.oh-my-zsh"

	# Set name of the theme to load. Optionally, if you set this to "random"
	# it'll load a random theme each time that oh-my-zsh is loaded.
	# See https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Themes
	ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"
