Chapter 6, Problem 1P
Modify the definition of the class Species in Listing 5.19 of Chapter 5 by removing the method setSpecies and adding the following methods:
- Five constructors: one for each instance variable, one with three parameters for the three instance variables, and a default constructor. Be sure that each constructor sets all of the instance variables.
- Four methods named set that can reset values: one is the same as the method setSpecies in Listing 5.16, and the other three each reset one of the instance variables.
Then write a test

1 - Student class
Make a class student (in student.py) that stores the following information for a student:
Name (name)
Student number (student_nr)
Points per assignment (points_per_assignment)
Exam grade (exam_grade)
a) Behind each point of information is the name of the parameter to the initializer method. Store this information from the parameters in the object attributes with the same name.
b) Add a method course_points() which returns the number of course points the student has gotten. Example:
mary = Student("Mary", 15789613, [10, 9, 8, 10, 9, 10], 9)print(mary.course_points()) > 121
The calculation of the course points is explained in the course overview, course setup slides (Links to an external site.) and the first lectureLinks to an external site..
c) Add a method grade() which returns a the final grade of the student, rounded to nearest half (upwards, 6.75 -> 7). As per regulations, a 5.5 becomes a 6. If the student did not pass both the assignments (>= 95…
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. (c++ language)
Design and implement a Restaurant class with at least three meaningful attributes and two
methods. Implement a test program which creates at least two instances of the restaurant class
and calls all the methods. Some possible attributes are name, numberOfTables, cuisine,
numberOfReservations, capacity, etc. Some possible methods are make Reservation,
checkAvailability, etc. Note the following:
-All properties must be declared as private and you need accessor and mutator methods
for each property.
- You need to define at least one constructor.
Documentation
o Include header comments that include description
of the program.
o Include body comments
o Consistent indentations
o Consistent white line spaces
Properties are declared as private
o Accessor and mutator methods are created
o At least one default constructor
o At least two instances are created

- Challenge exercise The following object creation will result in the constructor of the Date class being called. Can you write the constructor’s header? new Date("March", 23, 1861) Try to give meaningful names to the parametersarrow_forwardWrite in python and please include docstring. Write a class named Employee that has private data members for an employee's name, ID_number, salary, and email_address. It should have an init method that takes four values and uses them to initialize the data members. It should have get methods named get_name, get_ID_number, get_salary, and get_email_address. Write a separate function (not part of the Employee class) named make_employee_dict that takes as parameters a list of names, a list of ID numbers, a list of salaries and a list of email addresses (which are all the same length). The function should take the first value of each list and use them to create an Employee object. It should do the same with the second value of each list, etc. to the end of the lists. As it creates these objects, it should add them to a dictionary, where the key is the ID number and the value for that key is the whole Employee object. The function should return the resulting dictionary. For example, it…arrow_forward16. Create a class SubstitutionCipher that implements the interface MessageEncoder, as described in the previous exercise. The constructor should have one parameter called shift. Define the method encode so that each letter is shifted by the value in shift. For example, if shift is 3, a will be replaced by d, b will be replaced by e, c will be replaced by f, and so on. (Hint: You may wish to define a private method that shifts a single character.)arrow_forward
- 1. Create a class Employee with parameters name, id, designation, and basicSalary. Use appropriate datatypes and access specifiers. Use default constructor to create objects of employee. Write methods toset and get the values of parameters of employee. Write methods to find total salary of employee andto display the complete details of employee along with total salary. Create another class TestEmployeewhich creates array of n number of employees, uses appropriate set methods to set the values ofparameters of every employee. Display the details of each employee. (Total salary = basic salary + 80%of basic salary)arrow_forwardDefine a class named Employee. This class should extend the Person class from the previous question. The class should have a constructor, which takes the name, age, employer (String) and salary (int) as parameters (in that order). The first two parameters should be passed to the constructor of the superclass and the value of the last two parameters should be stored in instance variables. The class should define the methods, getSalary which returns the salary of the employee and getEmployer which returns the name of the employer. Any methods from the previous question that need to be overridden should be overridden! Use super and instanceof as appropriate. I.e., for the following methods you should be able to call the method in the superclass for specific situations (e.g. the compareTo method in the superclass can be called if you receive anything other than an Employee, and this also holds for the equals method). The toString method only needs to append details and as such can also…arrow_forwardMust 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…arrow_forward

(It's only missing an assignment to a radius instance variable.)arrow_forwardCreate a class MyTime which has the datamembers as follows: 1. hour: integer (1 to 12)2. minute: integer (0 to 59)3. second: integer (0 to 59)4. pm: bool variable. True means PM time and false means AM time. Implement a default constructor, a parameterized constructor and a copy constructor. Write set and get functions for all the four members of the class. Overload these operators: 1. Extraction operator >> : Prompt the user for hours, minutes, seconds and for am/pm and initialize the structure. Left operand istream object and right operand MyTime2. Assignment = : Assign the right object to the left object. Both operands are of type MyTime.3. Insertion << : Print the time in the format HH:MM SS PM. Left operand of type ostream and right operand of type MyTime. this in c++.arrow_forwardOverriding is useful when a method has the same signature and type as a method in the parent class. O a local variable has the same name as an instance variable. O you want to change the return type of a method. O a method has the same signature as another method in the same class.arrow_forward
- Create a class BeautyProduct with name, color, brand. Provide Constructors, getters, setters and also write toString method. Now create a class Lipstick which extends the class BeautyProduct as Lipstick is-a Beauty Product it has totalVolume, remainingVolume, price, texture (gloss, matt) as private data members. Provide Constructors, getters, setters and an apply() method whenever this method is called a beauty item is applied and its volume decreases by 10.This should also check that volume must not be zero if it then u have to throw exception. Also write toString method which prints all details like name, color, brand, price, texture and volume. Create another class foundation having totalVolume, remainingVolume, price, texture (liquid, cake) and lastingTime (number of hours foundation remain intact on face and does not crease) as private data members. This also extends the base class i.e. BeautyProduct. Provide Constructors, getters, setters and an apply() method whenever this…arrow_forward(1) Extend the ItemToPurchase class to contain a new attribute. item_description (string) - Set to "none" in default constructor Implement the following method for the ItemToPurchase class. print_item_description() - Prints item_description attribute for an ItemToPurchase object. Has an ItemToPurchase parameter. Ex. of print_item_description() output: Bottled Water: Deer Park, 12 oz. (2) Build the ShoppingCart class with the following data attributes and related methods. Note: Some can be method stubs (empty methods) initially, to be completed in later steps. Parameterized constructor which takes the customer name and date as parameters Attributes customer_name (string) - Initialized in default constructor to "none" current_date (string) - Initialized in default constructor to "January 1, 2016" cart_items (list) Methods add_item() Adds an item to cart_items list.

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). A method that overrides the calcPerimeter method of the superclass and…arrow_forward
