Well, yes, but that sounds remarkably like a homework problem,
and we can't and won't do your school assignments for you.

Your instructor gave you some suggestions on where to start;
you can use RSiteSearch or Google to find more information.

Beyond that, someone here may be inclined to assist if you
run into a specific problem, but really, that's what your
instructor is paid to do.
