Coin-Toss Simulator
Write a class named Coin. The Coin class should have the following field:
- A String named sideUp. The sideUp field will hold either “heads” cr “tails” indicating the side of the coin that is facing up.
The Coin class should have the following methods:
- A no-arg constructor that calls the toss method, described next.
- A void method named toss that simulates the tossing of the coin. When the toss method is called, it generates a random number in the range of 0 through 1. If the random number is 0, then it sets the sideUp field to “heads”. If the random number is 1, then it sets the sideUp field to “tails”.
- A method named getSideUp that returns the value of the sideUp field.

Nutritional information (classes/constructors) PYTHON ONLY
Complete the FoodItem class by adding a constructor to initialize a food item. The constructor should initialize the name (a string) to "None" and all other instance attributes to 0.0 by default. If the constructor is called with a food name, grams of fat, grams of carbohydrates, and grams of protein, the constructor should assign each instance attribute with the appropriate parameter value.
The given program accepts as input a food item name, fat, carbs, and protein and the number of servings. The program creates a food item using the constructor parameters' default values and a food item using the input values. The program outputs the nutritional information and calories per serving for both food items.
Ex: If the input is:
M&M's10.034.02.01.0
where M&M's is the food name, 10.0 is the grams of fat, 34.0 is the grams of carbohydrates, 2.0 is the grams of protein, and 1.0 is the number of servings, the output is:…
2. 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.
JAVA PROGRAMMING: Lesson – Overloading Constructors
Create a class named House that includes data fields for the number of occupants and the annual income as well as methods named setOccupants(), setIncome(), getOccupants() and getIncome() that set and return those values respectively. Additionally, create a constructor that requires no arguments and automatically sets the occupants field to 1 and income field to 0. Create an additional overloaded constructor . This constructor receives an integer argument and assigns the value to the occupants field. Create a third overloaded constructor this time, the constructor receives 2 arguments, the values of which are assigned to the occupants and income fields respectively. Create another class named I_house that instantiates the House class and see if the constructors work correctly.

- Problem: Employee and ProductionWorker Classes Write a python class named ProductionWorker that is a subclass of the Employee class. The ProductionWorker class should keep data attributes for the following information: • Shift number (an integer, such as 1, 2, or 3)• Hourly pay rateThe workday is divided into two shifts: day and night. The shift attribute will hold an integer value representing the shift that the employee works. The day shift is shift 1 and the night shift is shift 2. Write the appropriate accessor and mutator methods for this class. Once you have written the class, write a program that creates an object of the ProductionWorker class, and prompts the user to enter data for each of the object’s data attributes. Store the data in the object, then use the object’s accessor methods to retrieve it and display it on the screen Note: The program should be written in python.
