- Chapter 15 Customer Employee Creator Create an object-oriented program that allows you to enter data for customers and employees. Each class will be stored in its own python file. Console Specifications Create a Person class that provides attributes for first name, last name, and email address. Include a parameter for each attribute in the constructor method. This class will provide a property or method that returns the person’s full name. Create a Customer class that inherits the Person class. This class must add an attribute for a customer Create an Employee class that inherits the Person class. This class must add an attribute for a social security number (SSN). Put the above three classes in a module named ‘company_objects’, separate from the application module. The program will create a Customer or Employee object from the data entered by the user and store the object in a single variable. Create a function that will display the Customer or Employee. The function will have a…arrow_forwardIndicate whether the statement is true or false. 13. The non-static methods of a class are called instance method. 14. A constructor has no type and is therefore a void method. 15. A class can have only two constructors. 16. In shallow copying, each reference variable refers to its own object. 21. The method finalize automatically executes when the class objects goes out of scope. 22. A mutator method of a class changes the values of data members of the class. 23. In java, the reference this is used to refer to only the methods, not the instance variables of a class. 24. Classes that are defined within other classes are called inside classes. 25. Modifiers are used to alter the behavior of the class 26. A constructor has the same name as the class. 27. Constructors are called like any other method. 28. You can perform some arithmetic operations on class objects.arrow_forward2. Car Class Write a class named car that has the following fields: ▪ yearModel. The year Model field is an int that holds the car's year model. ▪ make. The make field is a String object that holds the make of the car, such as "Ford", "Chevrolet", "Honda", etc. ▪ speed. The speed field is an int that holds the car's current speed. In addition, the class should have the following methods. ■ Constructor. The constructor should accept the car's year model and make as arguments. These values should be assigned to the object's year Model and make fields. The constructor should also assign 0 to the speed field.arrow_forward

- Create an automobile class that will be used by a dealership as a vehicle inventory program. The following attributes should be present in your automobile class: private string make private string model private string color private int year private int mileage Your program should have appropriate methods such as: default constructor parameterized constructor add a new vehicle method list vehicle information (return string array) remove a vehicle method update vehicle attributes method. All methods should include try..catch constructs. Except as noted all methods should return a success or failure message (failure message defined in "catch"). Create an additional class to call your automobile class (e.g., Main or AutomobileInventory). Include a try..catch construct and print it to the console. Call automobile class with parameterized constructor (e.g., "make, model, color, year, mileage"). Then call the method to list the values. Loop through the array and print to the screen.…arrow_forwardTrue or False: It isn’t necessary for an instance of the class to be created in order to execute the static method.arrow_forwardDesign a LandTract class that has two fields (i.e. instance variables): one for the tract’s length(a double), and one for the width (a double). The class should have: a constructor that accepts arguments for the two fields a method that returns the tract’s area(i.e. length * width) an equals method that accepts a LandTract object as an argument. If the argument object holds the same data (i.e. length and width) as the calling object, this method should return true. Otherwise, it should return false. a toString method (that returns a String representation of the tract’s length, width, and area). Demonstrate the class in a program by creating an array of three LandTract objects initialized with user input. Then, print the info of the LandTract objects stored in the array by invoking the toString method (implicitly or explicity). Also, use the equals method to compare at least two LandTract objects and print wether they are of equal size or not. Sample Output:…arrow_forward
- 7)Circle Class Write a Circle class that has the following fields: radius: a double PI:a final double initialized with the value 3.14159 The class should have the following methods: Constructor. Accepts the radius of the circles as an argument. Constructor. A no-arg constructor that sets the radius field to 0.0. setRadius. A mutator method for the radius field. getRadius.An accessor method for the radius field. area. Returns the area of the circle, which is calculated as area. Returns the area of the circles, which is calculated as area= PI * radius * radius diameter. Returns the diameter of the cirlce, which is calculated as diameter = radius * 2 circumference. Returns the circumference of the circle, which is calculated as circumference = 2 * PI * radius Write a program that demonstrates the Circle class by asking the user for the circles's radius, creating a Circle object, and then reporting the cirlce's area, diameter, and circumference.arrow_forwardIt is possible for a class to have more than one constructor.A) This is correct. B) The answer is False.arrow_forwardWhen you instantiate an object from a class, you give a name to this particular object so that your program can distinguish it from other objects you instantiate from the same class.
