Must be written in Python. Please include docstring and show how output should look like. Remember that all data members should be private. An object can access it's own private data members directly. It can also access the private data members of other objects of the same class directly. But when accessing a private data member of an object of another class, it needs to call the appropriate get method. If that sounds complicated, just remember this: if a method is in the same class as a private data member, then it can access that data member directly, otherwise, it needs to use a get method.
Write a class named Point that has two data members, x_coord and y_coord, representing the two coordinates of the point. It should have:
an init method that takes two arguments, an x-coordinate and y-coordinate (in that order), and uses them to initialize the two data members.
get methods for the two data members: get_x_coord and get_y_coord.
a method named distance_to that takes a Point object…
Modify the student class presented in this chapter as follows. Each student object should also contain the scores for three tests. Provide a constructor that sets all instance values based on parameter values. Overload the constructor such that each test score is assumed to be initially zero. Provide a method called setTestScore that accepts two parameters: the test number (1 through 3) and the score. Also provide a method called getTestScore that accepts the test number and returns the appropriate score Provide a method called average that computes and returns the average test score for this student. Modify the toString method such that the test scores and average are included in the description of the student. Modify the driver class main method to exercise the new Student methods. (Java)

- The following is a class definition for a simple Ebook. Two instance variables and one parameterless constructor are provided. Part 1: Write a second constructor that takes a String array of pages as input and sets the String array instance variable equal to the input. Continue to default the current page number to zero. Part 2: Write a getter and a setter method for the page number variable. The setter should check to make sure that the input is a valid page number and only update the variable if the new value is valid. Part 3: Write a getCurrentPage method that returns the String of the current page indexed by current_page. public class Ebook{ private String[] pages; private int current_page; //constructor public Ebook() { this.pages = {"See Spot.", "See Spot run.", "Run, Spot, run."}; this.current_page = 0; }}arrow_forwardYou are going to be working with class Rational which defines rational number objects. A rational number is a number that can be written as a fraction. A rational number consists of a numerator and a denominator (which cannot be 0). Rational numbers also have the ability to be displayed in an original form, decimal form or reduced form. You are going to be completing various object methods to perform the tasks previously list. You are to begin with the Rational Class and RationalTest classes provided. Make all modifications outlined in the point values below. Pay close attention to the names of the attributes, methods and return values. You are given starter files and the test files necessary. Only modify class Rational and keep the function headers provided to you for all of Part 1. You will need to add your own methods for Part 2. Part 1a This version requires that you complete the constructor, getOriginal(), and getDecimal() methods of class Rational. Constructor: at this stage…arrow_forwardAdd comments as appropriate. Be sure that your program output is neatly presented to the user. Add documentation comments to your functions. You are going to change the class you created in Program7 so that it has a constructor and some properties. In your GeoPoint class make the following changes (note your variable, parameter and method names may be different. Adjust as needed.): Add a constructor __init__(self, lat=0, lon=0,description = ‘TBD’) that will initialize the class variables __lat ,__lon and the __description. Notice that the constructor will also default lat and lon to zero and description to ‘TBD’ if they are not provided. Change the SetPoint method so that instead of individual coordinates SetPoint(self, lat, lon) it takes a single sequence. Add a property: Point = property(GetPoint,SetPoint). Make sure GetPoint and SetPoint are the names you used for the get and set methods you already wrote for points. Add another property: Description = property(GetDescription,…arrow_forward
- Write a method toString() for the Cow class which displays information about a Cow object. The method should consider the following: • If the Cow's stomach value is 100, the output should say that the Cow is full • If the Cow's stomach value is below 100 but above 50, no information about the Cow's stomach should be given • If the Cow's stomach value is below 50 but above 10, the output should mention that the cow is hungry • If the Cow's stomach value is below 10, the output should mention that the cow is starving. Example output: First Cow is full. Second Cow Third Cow is hungry. Fourth Cow is starving!arrow_forwardI would like you to create a program that keeps track of the inventory (by make - e.g., Toyota) of cars on a used car lot. you will have to create two classes. The first is a simple Car class that consists of an inventory, make, and model. The second class you need to create for this challenge is the Lot. A Lot can contain many cars. Part 1 Write the Car constructor, get methods, and toString method. Part 2 Write the Car's increase and decrease inventory methods. Part 3 Edit the Car so it implements Comparable and compares Car instances based on their inventory in descending order. Part 4 Write the getCars and getCarsSorted methods of the Lot class. Part 5 Write the getInventory method of the Lot class. Part 6 Use a try/catch block in the Car's constructor so that it sets the inventory to 0 if the inventory passed to the constructor is not a valid integer. this is the output that should be produced by main: Make: [Toyota Camry (10), Toyota Prius (4), Toyota Rav4 (16)] [Hyundai…arrow_forwardIn this problem, you will define a class to represent a competitor in a wizard battle. Your class should be named Wizard, and you should define the methods below. Hint: if you are using the print or input functions to implement these methods, you are doing it wrong. __init__: Initializes an Wizard object. Takes four parameters: the name of the wizard (a string), their age (an integer), their animal familiar’s name (a string), and their power level (an integer). These are saved in appropriate attributes. In addition, it initializes the following attributes: a Boolean value indicating if the competitor is cursed (initially False ), an integer indicating the number of potions the wizard has (initially 2). __str__: Returns a string summarizing the Wizard object, following the format below exactly: Merlin with Archimedes the Owl (205 power, 2 potions) You should use values derived from attributes in place of the bolded values. __lt__: Compares self to another Wizard object. It returns True…arrow_forward
- For this lab task, you will work with classes and objects. Create a class named text that works similar to the built-in string class. You will need to define a constructor that can be used to initialize objects of this new class with some literal text. Next, define three methods: to_upper() that will convert all characters to uppercase, reverse() that will reverse the text and length() that will return the length of the text. After you have completed this part, copy the following mainfunction to your code and check if the implementation is correct. int main() { text sample = "This is a sample text"; cout << sample.to_upper(); // This should display "THIS IS A SAMPLE TEXT" cout << endl;cout << sample.reverse(); // This should display "txet elpmas a si sihT"cout << endl; cout << sample.length(); // This should display 21 }arrow_forwardJava programming please Support computing sales tax in the CashRegister class. The tax rate should be supplied when constructing a CashRegister object. Add recordTaxablePurchase and getTotalTax methods. (Amounts added with recordPurchase are not taxable.) The giveChange method should correctly reflect the sales tax that is charged on taxable items. Please add the method to the CashRegisterTester. The input and output are also provided below. CashRegister class: import java.util.Scanner; public class CashRegister { private double purchase; private double payment; /** Constructs a cash register with no money in it. */ public CashRegister() { purchase = 0; payment = 0; } /** Records the sale of an item. @param amount the price of the item */ public void recordPurchase(double amount) { purchase = purchase + amount; } /** Processes a payment received from the customer. @param amount the amount of the payment */…arrow_forwardIn this exercise, you are going to be working with 4 classes, a Book superclass with TextBook and Novel subclasses, and a BookTester class to run your program. For the Book, TextBook, and Novel class, you will create a constructor and all getters and setters. Be sure to follow standard naming conventions for your getters and setters! Additional information for each class is below. Book Class The Book class will have a title and author as instance variables and the constructor should follow this format: public Book(String title, String author) TextBook Class The TextBook class will have a subject and edition as instance variables and the constructor should follow this format: public TextBook(String title, String author, String subject, String edition) Novel Class The Novel class will have a genre and pages as instance variables and the constructor should follow this format: public Novel(String title, String author, String genre, int pages) BookTester In the tester class, you should…arrow_forward
- Design a class called Stopwatch. The job of this class is to simulate a stopwatch. It should provide two methods: Start and Stop. We call the start method first, and the stop method next. Then we ask the stopwatch about the duration between start and stop. Duration should be a value in TimeSpan. Display the duration on the console. We should also be able to use a stopwatch multiple times. So we may start and stop it and then start and stop it again. Make sure the duration value each time is calculated properly. We should not be able to start a stopwatch twice in a row (because that may overwrite the initial start time). So the class should throw an InvalidOperationException if its started twice. 1arrow_forwardGiven a variable Animal pet - which currently holds a reference to a Animal object, and two methods inside the Animal class with the headers: 1 public void setOwner(String ownerName, String address, boolean hasGarden) 2 public int getPetToHumanAge(String species, int petAge) Write two possible calls for each of these methods.arrow_forwardThe formula for converting a temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius is: C = 5/9(F – 32) where F is the temperature in Fahrenheit and C is the temperature in Celsius. Write a class called TemperatureConversion that includes methods that: • Convert Celsius to Fahrenheit. The Celsius temperature is passed as a parameter and it returns the corresponding Fahrenheit temperature. • Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius. The Fahrenheit temperature is passed as a parameter and it returns the corresponding Celsius temperature. Demonstrate the methods by using loops to display the Fahrenheit temperatures 32 through 212 and their Celsius equivalents and the Celsius temperatures between 0 and 100 and their Fahrenheit equivalents. in c#arrow_forward
