Stars
This lab exercise will practice creating objects with constructors and destructors and demonstrate when constructors and destructors are called.
Star Class
Create a class, Star. A Star object has two member variables: its name, and a solar radius. This class should have a constructor which takes a std::string, the name of the star, and a double, the solar radius of the star.
In the constructor, the Star class should print to the terminal that the star was born. For example, if you create a Star as follows:
Star my_star("Saiph", 22.2);
Then the constructor should print:
The star Saiph was born.
In the destructor, the Star class should print to the terminal that the star was destroyed, along with the number of times the volume of the sun that that star was, formatted to two decimal places. Hint: use the following line to set the precision to 2 decimal places:
std::cout << std::fixed << std::setprecision(2);
For example, when my_star above has its destructor called,…
True or false: A class object can be passed to a function, but cannot be returned by a function.
Summary
In this lab, you create a derived class from a base class, and then use the derived class in a Python program. The program should create two Motorcycle objects, and then set the Motorcycle’s speed, accelerate the Motorcycle object, and check its sidecar status.
Instructions
Open the file named Motorcycle.py.
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. Change the message in the accelerate method so the following is displayed when the Motorcycle tries to accelerate beyond its maximum speed: "This motorcycle cannot go that fast".
Open the file named MyMotorcycleClassProgram.py.
