It has a constructor that takes SID as a parameter. The Main class is used to declare objects from the Student class.

- Write in python. Write a class named Employee that has **private** data members for an employee's name, ID_number, salary, and email_address. It should have an init method that takes four values and uses them to initialize the data members. It should have get methods named get_name, get_ID_number, get_salary, and get_email_address.Write a separate function (not part of the Employee class) named **make_employee_dict** that takes as parameters a list of names, a list of ID numbers, a list of salaries and a list of email addresses (which are all the same length). The function should take the first value of each list and use them to create an Employee object. It should do the same with the second value of each list, etc. to the end of the lists. As it creates these objects, it should add them to a dictionary, where the key is the ID number and the value for that key is the whole Employee object. The function should return the resulting dictionary.For example, it could be used like…arrow_forwardI already have the code for the assignment below, but the code has an error in the driver class. Please help me fix it. The assignment: Make a recursive method for factoring an integer n. First, find a factor f, then recursively factor n / f. This assignment needs a resource class and a driver class. The resource class and the driver class need to be in two separate files. The resource class will contain all of the methods and the driver class only needs to call the methods. The driver class needs to have only 5 lines of code The code of the resource class: import java.util.ArrayList;import java.util.List; public class U10E03R{ // Recursive function to // print factors of a number public static void factors(int n, int i) { // Checking if the number is less than N if (i <= n) { if (n % i == 0) { System.out.print(i + " "); } // Calling the function recursively // for the next number factors(n, i +…arrow_forwardpublic abstract class Shape { public Shape() { } public abstract double area() ; public String who() { return "Shape" ; } } public class Circle extends Shape { private int radius ; public Circle( int r ) { radius = r ; } @Override public double area() { return Math.PI * radius * radius ; } } public class Square extends Shape { private int _sideLength ; public Square( int sideLength ) { /* TODO question 45 */ } @Override public double area() { return _sideLength * _sideLength ; } } Implement the Square constructor, and make sure it throws an exception when the input parameter is not a valid length.

- private int b; public int method3() { return b; } // in another class an object of the first class was introduced and inside the second class : float y = tester.method3(); are there any errors ? and explain pleasearrow_forwardMust be written in Python. Please include docstring and show how output should look like. Remember that all data members should be private. An object can access it's own private data members directly. It can also access the private data members of other objects of the same class directly. But when accessing a private data member of an object of another class, it needs to call the appropriate get method. If that sounds complicated, just remember this: if a method is in the same class as a private data member, then it can access that data member directly, otherwise, it needs to use a get method. Write a class named Point that has two data members, x_coord and y_coord, representing the two coordinates of the point. It should have: an init method that takes two arguments, an x-coordinate and y-coordinate (in that order), and uses them to initialize the two data members. get methods for the two data members: get_x_coord and get_y_coord. a method named distance_to that takes a Point object…arrow_forwardHow would one go about creating a main class that calls those static classes, but in a seperate java file?arrow_forward
