Chapter 6, Problem 4PP
Complete and fully test the class Characteristic that Exercise 5 describes. Include the following methods:
- getDescription—returns the description of this characteristic.
- getRating—returns the rating of this characteristic.
- getCompatability (Characteristic otherRating)—returns the compatibility measure of two matching characteristics, or zero if the descriptions do not match.
- getCompatabilityMeasure (Characteristic otherRating)— private method that returns a compatibility measure as a formula double value using the formula
when both ratings are nonzero; m is zero if either rating is zero. (Recall from Exercise 5 that the constructor sets the rating to zero, indicating that it has not yet been determined.)
- isMatch(Characteristic otherRating)— a private method that returns true if the descriptions match.

Students have asked these similar questions
(1) Add an __init__ method to the Widget class below. Each object of type Widget should have an instance variable called name and an instance variable called cost that represents a cost in dollars; those values are passed in when an object of type Widget is initialized.
(2) Add a method to class Widget called is_cheap that returns True if the cost is less than $10, and False otherwise.
(3) Add proper doctrings along with two examples for each method. You may use the Sample Usage code given below in your work.

- Implement any one of the following methods. That will be a good exercise for you if you choose to implement both but you will be graded for only one. Implement a instance method, called equalsTo, in the IntArrayBag’s class that takes one input parameter and returns a boolean value. The input parameter is of type IntArrayBag. The method returns true if the input bag and the bag that activates the method have exactly the same elements. Otherwise the method return false. Note that the locations of the elements in the data arrays are not necessarily be the same, it is only the number of occurrences of each element that must be the same. OR Implement a static method, called equalsTo, in the IntArrayBag’s class that takes two input parameters and returns a boolean value. The input parameters are of type IntArrayBag. The method returns true if the two input bags have exactly the same elements. Otherwise the method returns false. Note that the locations of the elements in the data arrays…arrow_forwardMake a python class called CellPhone. The init() method for CellPhone needs to store two attributes: brand, and model.

- Create a TestCard project with a TestCard class and a Card class. Data members for the Card class should be two numeric values representing the suit of the Card and the card's number. The Card class also has a constructor and methods for setting and getting the card information. See UML model. In the TestCard class within main(), deal two cards at a time by constructing two card objects. One card is the user's. The other is the computer's. Show both cards. Add a point to whoever had the higher card. Show who won the trick and the score. Scores don't change if a tie. Keep dealing until user wants to quit or 26 pairs have been dealt. UML for Card class -suit: int the number that corresponds to the suit of the card. 0 Hearts, 1 Diamonds, 2 Clubs, 3 Spades -value: int the value of the card.
