Car ClassWrite a class named Car that has the following fields:• yearModel. The yearModel field is an int that holds the car’s year model.• make. The make field references a String object that holds the make of the car.• speed. The speed field is an int that holds the car’s current speed.
In addition, the class should have the following constructor and other methods.• Constructor. The constructor should accept the car’s year model and make as arguments. These values should be assigned to the object’s yearModel and make fields. The constructor should also assign 0 to the speed field.• Accessors. Appropriate accessor methods should get the values stored in an object’s yearModel, make, and speed fields.• accelerate. The accelerate method should add 5 to the speed field each time it is called.• brake.

- Design 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.

Define a constructor to accept and initialize instance data. Then define more methods(see code below). A toString method is included to print the description of the car. Then create a drive class called CarTest which has a main method. Portion of the program is given. You’ll complete the program.

Both will be String objects. Modify the primary constructor for the Account class so that it takes three parameters: the balance, the customer's name, and the account number. Add instance methods named getCustomerName and getAccountNumber that return the customer name and account number.arrow_forwardCreate a class called Employee that contains two attributes: name and number. Next, write a class named Production Worker that is a subclass of the Employee class. The Production Worker class should add extra attributes called shift_number (an integer, either 1 or 2) and pay_rate. Write the appropriate accessor and mutator methods for each class. Once you have written the classes, write a program that creates an object of the Employee class and an object of the Production Worker 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.arrow_forward
