Chapter 7, Problem 1PC
Date
Design a class called Date that has integer data members to store month, day, and year. The class should have a three-parameter default constructor that allows the date to be set at the time a new Date object is created. If the user creates a Date object without passing any arguments, or if any of the values passed are invalid, the default values of 1, 1, 2001 (i.e., January 1, 2001) should be used. The class should have member functions to print the date in the following formats:
3/15/16
March 15, 2016
15 March 2016

Employee 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.
Create an application that creates an object of the ProductionWorker class and lets the user enter data for each of the object’s properties. Retrieve the object’s properties and display their values.
Class Student
This class represents a single student
__init__(self, id: int, fist_name: str, last_name: str, town:str):
"""
This creates a student object with the specified ID first and last name and home town. This constructor should
also create data structure for holding the students grades for all of there assignments. Additionally it should
create a variable that holds the student's energy level which will be a number between 0 and 1. The student start
out with 1 (100%) energy.
