Tossing Coins for a Dollar
For this assignment you will create a game program using the Coin class from
When the game begins, your starting balance is $0. During each round of the game, the program will toss the simulated coins. When a coin is tossed, the value of the coin is added to your balance if it lands heads-up. For example, if the quarter lands heads-up, 25 cents is added to your balance. Nothing is added to your balance for coins that land tails-up. The game is over when your balance reaches one dollar or more. If your balance is exactly one dollar, you win the game. You lose if your balance exceeds one dollar.

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:…
Boats
For problems A, B, and C you will be writing two different classes to simulate a Boat race. Problem A is to write the first class Boat. A Boat object must hold the following information
boat_name: string
top_speed: int
current_progress: int
Write a constructor that allows the programmer to create an object of type Boat with the arguments boat_name and top_speed.
The boat_name should be set to the value of the corresponding argument - this argument is required.
The top_speed should default to the value 3 if no value is passed in for the argument.
The value for current_progress should always be set to 0.
Implement Boat class with setter and getter methods:
Provide setters for the following instance variables:
set_top_speed takes in an int and updates the top_speed
set_boat_name takes in a string and updates the boat_name
set_current_progress takes in a int and updates the current_progress
Provide getters for the following instance variables with no input parameters…
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.…arrow_forwardProblem: 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.

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.arrow_forward

Two constructors that initialize the data members that store the min/max possible values of rolls. a constructor with default min/max values. a constructor that takes 2 input arguments corresponding to the min and max roll values Create a roll() function that returns a random number that is uniformly distributed between the minimum and maximum possible roll values.

The member data should comprise an int for storing the employee number, a string for storing the name and a float for storing the employee’s salary. Member functions should allow the user to enter this data and display it. Write a main () that allows the user to enter data for three employees and display it.arrow_forwardEmployee and ProductionWorker Classes Create an Employee class that has properties for the following data: Employee name Employee number Next, create a class named ProductionWorker that is derived from the Employee class. The ProductionWorker class should have properties to hold the following data: Shift number (an integer, such as 1, 2, or 3) Hourly pay rate The workday is divided into two shifts: day and night. The Shift property 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.

Retrieve the object’s properties and display their values.arrow_forwardFour in a row is a game in which players take turns adding tokens to the columns on the game board. Tokens fall to the lowest position in the chosen column that does not already have a token in it. Once one of the players has placed four of their tokens in a straight line (either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally), they win the game If the board is full and no player has won, then the game ends in a draw. TASK Using the following class descriptions, create a UML diagram and a version of Four in a row game The game must allow for a minimum of two and maximum of four players The game must allow each player to enter their name(duplicate names should not be accepted) The game should give the players the ability to choose how many rows (between four and ten), and how many columns (between four and ten) the game board should have.
