Chapter 5.1, Problem 12STQ
Define a method called changePopulation that could be added to the definition of the class SpeciesSecondTry in Listing 5.6
. This method has two parameters. One parameter, named area, is of type double and gives the area occupied by the species in square miles. The other parameter, named numberPerMile, is of type int and gives the desired number of individuals per square mile. The method changePopulation changes the value of the instance variable population so that the number of individuals per square mile is (approximately) equal to numberPerMile.

Create a class Rectangle. The class has attribute length and width, each of which defaults to 1. It has methods that calculate the perimeter and area of the rectangle. It has set and get methods for both length and width. The set method should verify that length and width are each floating-point numbers larger than 0.0 and less than 20.0. Write a program to test class Rectangle
Create a new class called Dog that is derived from the Pet class given in Listing 6.1 of Chapter 6. The new class has the additional attributes of breed (type String) and boosterShot (type boolean), which is true if the pet has had its booster shot and false if not. Give your classes a reasonable complement of constructors and accessor methods. Write a driver program to test all your methods, then write a program that reads in five pets of type Dog and displays the name and breed of all dogs that are over two years old and have not had their booster shots.
Create a class with a method. The method has to decide whether a given year is a leap year or not.
Note- A year is a leap year if:
• It has an extra day i.e. 366 instead of 365.
It occurs in every 4 year e.g. 2008, 2012 are leap years.
For every 100 years a special rule applies-1900 is not a leap year but 2000 is a leap
year. In those cases, we need to check whether it is divisible by 400 or not.

- box1 and box2 are instances of the Box class. Attributes length, width, and height of both box1 and box2 are read from input. Then, two strings are read from input. In the Box class, define instance method print_measurements() with self and one string as parameters to output the string parameter in one line, and the following in the next line: The value of attribute length ' by ' The value of attribute width ' by ' The value of attribute heightarrow_forward2A. Create a Date class with three integer instance variables named day, month, year. It has a constructor with three parameters for initializing the instance variables, and it has one method named daysSinceJan1(). It computes and returns the number of days since January1ofthe same year, including January 1 and the day in the Date object. For example, if day is a Date object with day = 1, month = 3, and year = 2000, then the call date.daysSinceJan1( ) should return 61 since there are 61 days between the dates of January 1, 2000, and March 1, 2000, including January1 and March 1.

- P1. In this question, you are provided a completed superclass – Shape (Do not make any changes to this class!). This class represents generic shapes and has several methods that you will have to override in the Circle and Rectangle subclasses, whose code skeletons are provided as well. You are required to complete these two classes so that they can correctly describe and calculate their attributes. For the Circle class, create the following: A private double instance variable m radius. A constructor that takes two parameters (in the order of color, radius). It should use the parameter for radius to set the m_radius instance variable and then explicitly call the parent class constructor using the super keyword and pass in the color parameter. A method that overrides the calcArea method of the superclass and calculates the area of the circle. The area of a circle can be calculated as 3.14 x r² (where r is the radius).

Your task is to modify the Auto class below to override the equals method of the Vehicle class to test that the VIN and license plate number are identical.arrow_forwardPython programm In many card games, cards are either face up or face down. Add a new instance variable named faceup to the Card class to track this attribute of a card. Its default value is False. Then add a turn method to turn the card over.

- Create a Book class with attributes such as book title, author, and price. Implement a parameterized constructor to initialize these attributes. Now, extend the functionality of the Bookstore class by adding a new method called 'addBook.' This method should allow the addition of custom books to the bookstore's inventory. The method should take three parameters: title, author, and price. Implement this method to ensure that the bookstore's inventory is updated accordingly. Instantiate a new object of the bookstore, naming it 'ReadersHaven, utilizing the extended class with the newly added 'addBook' method. Your next step is to add three distinct custom books to 'ReadersHaven-for example, 'The Silent Observer® by Jane Doe, priced at $20.99, Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, priced at $15.50, and 'Programming Mastery by John Coder, priced at $30.75. To conclude, utilize a 'displayinventory' method to showcase the updated information about 'ReadersHaven." Verify that the output…arrow_forwardWrite a class Die representing a single die. Your class should include: An instance variable for the number of sides on the die. A constructor that allows you to specify the number of sides on the die. This method shouldcheck that there are at least 2 sides; if not, it should default to having 6 sides. A toString method that returns a description of the die, including its number of sides. A roll method that randomly returns one of the numbers on the die. Each number should have an equal probabilityof being returned. Assume that the numbers on the die range from 1 to the number of sides. A testDie method that takes one parameter for the number of times to roll the die. This method should roll the diethat number of times, keeping track of the results. Once all rolls are complete, the method should display statisticson how many times each number appeared, and the corresponding percentage.

A Country has populationSize, area, capital, currency, and abbreviation (2-3 letters taken from the country name). Define at least two constructors, at least two getter methods, at least two setter methods, and Override the toString() and the equals() methods. The equals() method must return true if the two countries have the same name and same populationSize and false otherwise. The abbreviation is the first letter and the second letter of the country name and must be generated automatically (e.g. if the country name is Palestine the abbreviation is PA, if the country name is Jordan the abbreviation is JO.) Write a main method, define an array of country objects, read countries data from the user, if two countries have the same abbreviation add the last letter from the country name to the abbreviation of the country inserted last.
