Question
- A library wants to manage its collection of books and authors more efficiently. They would like to create a Python program to help with this task. The following requirements need to be implemented:
- Create an Author class with the attributes: name, dob (date of birth), and nationality. The class should have a __str__ method to represent the author in a user-friendly format.
- Create a Book class with the following attributes: title, author (an instance of the Author class), publication_date, and price. Also, include a class variable all_books that keeps a list of all book instances created.
The Book class should have:
- A __str__ method to represent the book in a user-friendly format.
- A __eq__ method to compare two books. Two books are considered the same if they have the same title and author.
- A __lt__ method to compare two books based on their publication dates.
- A class method get_all_books that returns a list of all books in the library.
- A static method most_expensive_book that takes a list of book instances and returns the most expensive one.
- Finally, create a Library class that manages books and authors. This class should include the following:
- An attribute collection to store the books in the library.
- A method add_book to add a new book to the library. If the book already exists in the library (based on the __eq__ method from the Book class), it should not be added again.
- A method search_books_by_author to find all books written by a particular author.
- A method most_expensive_book that returns the most expensive book in the library's collection.
- Make sure to handle potential exceptions gracefully and provide informative error messages to the user.
- Your program should demonstrate the creation of multiple Author and Book objects, add these books to a Library object, and show usage of the search_books_by_author and most_expensive_book methods. Use the code provided in the first screenshot below to test your implementation. This code should go at the end of your program after you have satisfied all of the requirements above.

- Internally your program should have two Java classes: ValidatorNumeric (superclass) ValidatorString (subclass) The subclass ValidatorString extends ValidatorNumeric class, forming a hierarchy of two classes. Add a separate main class with the main() method to test all public methods in both ValidatorNumeric and ValidatorString classes. The main() method should create the necessary objects and run the user interaction as shown above. The ValidatorNumeric class is responsible for capturing user prompt and a range of valid numeric inputs. Its methods display the prompt and accept input from the user. It should provide the following public interface: // Default constructor ValidatorNumeric() // Specific constructor taking params as follows: ValidatorNumeric( String prompt, int min, int max ) // Another specific constructor taking params as follows: ValidatorNumeric( String prompt, double min, double max ) // Method that shows user prompt and gets an int from the user: public…arrow_forwardSummary In this lab, you create a derived class from a base class, and then use the derived class in a Python program.

Create the Motorcycle class by deriving it from the Vehicle class. Call the parent class __init()__ method inside the Motorcycle class's __init()__ method. In theMotorcycle class, create an attribute named sidecar. Write a public set method to set the value for sidecar. Write a public get method to retrieve the value of sidecar. Write a public accelerate method. This method overrides the accelerate method inherited from the Vehicle class.
