NumDays Class
Design a class called NumDays. The class’s purpose is to store a value that represents a number of work hours and convert it to a number of days. For example, 8 hours would be converted to 1 day, 12 hours would be converted to 1.5 days, and 18 hours would be converted to 2.25 days. The class should have a constructor that accepts a number of hours, as well as member functions for storing and retrieving the hours and days. The class should also have the following overloaded operators:
+ Addition operator. When two NumDays objects are added together, the over loaded + operator should return the sum of the two objects’ hours members.
− Subtraction operator. When one NumDays object is subtracted from another, the overloaded - operator should return the difference of the two objects’ hours members.
++ Prefix and postfix increment operators. These operators should increment the number of hours stored in the object. When incremented, the number of days should be automatically recalculated.
−− Prefix and postfix decrement operators. These operators should decrement the number of hours stored in the object. When decremented, the number of days should be automatically recalculated.

Employee and ProductionWorker Classes
Create an Employee class that has properties for the following data:
Employee name
Employee number
Next, create a class named ProductionWorker that is derived from the Employee class. The ProductionWorker class should have properties to hold the following data:
Shift number (an integer, such as 1, 2, or 3)
Hourly pay rate
The workday is divided into two shifts: day and night. The Shift property will hold an integer value representing the shift that the employee works. The day shift is shift 1 and the night shift is shift 2.
Create an application that creates an object of the ProductionWorker class and lets the user enter data for each of the object’s properties. Retrieve the object’s properties and display their values.
Parent Class: Food
Write a parent class called Food. A food is described by a name, the number of grams of sugar (as a whole number), and the number of grams of sodium (as a whole number).
Core Class Components
For the Food class, write:
the complete class header
the instance data variables
a constructor that sets the instance data variables based on parameters
getters and setters; use validity checking on the parameters where appropriate
a toString method that returns a text representation of a Food object that includes all three characteristics of the food
Class-Specific Method
Write a method that calculates what percent of the daily recommended amount of sugar is contained in a food. The daily recommended amount might change, so the method takes in the daily allowance and then calculates the percentage.
For example, let's say a food had 6 grams of sugar. If the daily allowance was 24 grams, the percent would be 0.25. For that same food, if the daily allowance was 36 grams, the…
Problem: Employee and ProductionWorker Classes
Write a python class named ProductionWorker that is a subclass of the Employee class. The ProductionWorker class should keep data attributes for the following information:
• Shift number (an integer, such as 1, 2, or 3)• Hourly pay rateThe workday is divided into two shifts: day and night. The shift attribute will hold an integer value representing the shift that the employee works. The day shift is shift 1 and the night shift is shift 2. Write the appropriate accessor and mutator methods for this class. Once you have written the class, write a program that creates an object of the ProductionWorker class, and prompts the user to enter data for each of the object’s data attributes. Store the data in the object, then use the object’s accessor methods to retrieve it and display it on the screen
Note: The program should be written in python.

- Cruise Recreational Activities Example Recreational activities include things like aerobics, shuffle board, and swimming. Each activity is identified by an activity code and includes other information such as description. Classes are offered for each activity. A class is uniquely identified by a combination of the activity code and the day/time at which it is held. It is assumed that a specific class will never be offered for the same activity at the same day and time, although it could be offered on a different day and/or time. Other information about a class includes the enrollment limit and the current enrollment count. A class will never include more than one activity. A passenger can sign up for a class as long as there is sufficient room in the class. Passengers are identified by a unique passenger number.
