Chapter 10.1, Problem 2CP

Explanation of Solution

Encapsulation:

  • • It combines the data and code into a single object.
  • • It helps in restricting access to the methods.
  • • This helps in preventing the data from being modified due to accident.
  • • The object’s variable is not directly accessible.
  • • Underscore helps in preventing the data from being accessed directly.

The encapsulation rules in Python can be summarized as follows:

Public methodIt is accessible from anywhere.
Public variablesIt can be accessed from anywhere.
Private methodIt can be accessed only in their own class
Private methodIt is accessible only in their class or method.
  • • It protects the data from tampering. By declaring the data field as private, direct modifications of properties are prevented.
  • • It makes the class easy to maintain and reduces the errors...

Transcribed Image Text 7-a) Danish works as a constructor. Like all constructors, he is also a beer fan. He likes beer so much that has K cups of beer daily. However, having more than K cups doesn't suit him, because the excess beer won't allow him to sleep at night. Danish's working day is divided into N periods. For every period, he knows how many kilobytes of weight he can lift. During each of the periods, Danish can either have or not to have one bottle of beer. If he is having a bottle of beer in some period, the amount of work in this period drops to zero. But he also gets a productivity boost, if he decides to skip beer during a period and the last bottle of beer, he had was no more than D periods ago, the amount of work during such a period is M times the usual.
InstructionsDefine an enumeration type triangleType that has the values scalene, isosceles, equilateral, and noTriangle.Write a function triangleShape that takes as parameters three numbers, each of which represents the length of a side of the triangle. The function should return the shape of the triangle. (Note: In a triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides is greater than the length of the third side.)Write a program that prompts the user to input the length of the sides of a triangle and outputs the shape of the triangle.
