Example 2: how to handle select dropdown in selenium

How do you handle Select type of dropdown?
    - If it is <select> we would have to use Select class from Selenium.
    - Methods to select from dropdown:
        - selectByVisibleText
        - selectByValue
        - selectByIndex 
--> How do we verify which option is selected in a dropdown?
    - If we want to get the currently selected option, 
    we use getFirstSelectedOption() method.
   
        -> return type: currently selected option as a web element
--> .getOptions();
    -> This method will return all of the options in the <select> web element.
    -> return type: List<WebElement>

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;

public class accessDropDown {
 public static void main(String[] args) { 
		System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver","C:\\geckodriver.exe");
	    String baseURL = "http://demo.guru99.com/test/newtours/register.php";
	    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
		driver.get(baseURL);

		Select drpCountry = new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("country")));
		drpCountry.selectByVisibleText("ANTARCTICA");

		//Selecting Items in a Multiple SELECT elements
