Car Instrument Simulator
For this assignment you will design a set of classes that work together to simulate a car’s fuel gauge and odometer. The classes you will design are:
• The Fuel Gauge Class: This class will simulate a fuel gauge. Its responsibilities are
- To know the car’s current amount of fuel, in gallons.
- To report the car’s current amount of fuel, in gallons.
- To be able to increment the amount of fuel by 1 gallon. This simulates putting fuel in the car. (The car can hold a maximum of 15 gallons.)
- To be able to decrement the amount of fuel by 1 gallon, if the amount of fuel is greater than 0 gallons. This simulates burning fuel as the car runs.
• The Odometer Class: This class will simulate the car’s odometer. Its responsibilities are:
- To know the car’s current mileage.
- To report the car’s current mileage.
- To be able to increment the current mileage by 1 mile. The maximum mileage the odometer can store is 999,999 miles. When this amount is exceeded, the odometer resets the current mileage to 0.
- To be able to work with a Fuel Gauge object. It should decrease the Fuel Gauge object’s current amount of fuel by 1 gallon for every 24 miles traveled. (The car’s fuel economy is 24 miles per gallon.)
Demonstrate the classes by creating instances of each. Simulate filling the car up with fuel, then run a loop that increments the odometer until the car runs out of fuel. During each loop iteration, print the car’s current mileage and amount of fuel.

(Date Class) Create a class called Date that includes three pieces of information as datamembers—a month (type int), a day (type int) and a year (type int). Your class should have a constructor with three parameters that uses the parameters to initialize the three data members. For thepurpose of this exercise, assume that the values provided for the year and day are correct, but ensurethat the month value is in the range 1–12; if it isn’t, set the month to 1. Provide a set and a get function for each data member. Provide a member function displayDate that displays the month, dayand year separated by forward slashes (/). Write a test program that demonstrates class Date’s capabilities.
Personal Information ProgramDevelop a program, in which you’ll design a class that holds the following personal data: name, address, age, and phone number. As part of the program, you’ll then create appropriate accessor and mutator methods. Also, set up three instances of the class. One instance should hold your information, and the other two should hold your friends’ or family members’ information.Input:
data for the following attributes of 3 instances of the Personal Information Class:
name, address, age, and phone number
NOTE: The input data do not need to be real data; they need to be entered at the keyboard, when program is run.Processing: Develop the following:
Personal Information Class
A program that creates three instances of the above class
Output:Set up a loop and display data within each object:
name, address, age, and phone number
(Rational Numbers) Create a class called Rational for performing arithmetic with fractions. Write a program to test your class. Use integer variables to represent the private instance variables of the class—the numerator and the denominator. Provide a constructor that enables an object of this class to be initialized when it's declared. The constructor should store the fraction in reduced form. The fraction 2/4 is equivalent to 1/2 and would be stored in the object as 1 in the numerator and 2 in the denominator. Provide a no-argument constructor with default values in case no initializers are provided. Provide public methods that perform each of the following operations:
a) Add two Rational numbers: The result of the addition should be stored in reduced form. Implement this as a static method.
b) Subtract two Rational numbers: The result of the subtraction should be stored in reduced form. Implement this as a static method.…
