Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 10, Problem 7SA
Explanation of Solution
The “__str__” method:
- • It is used to display an object’s state.
- • The object’s state is the value of the object’s attribute.
- • This method returns a string containing the object’s state.
- • When an object is passed as an argument to the print function, this “__str__” method is automatically called.
- • It is also called when an object is passed as an argument to the built-in “str” function.
Example:
#define the class Example_class
class Example_class:
#init method for the class
def __init__(self, id):
#assign for id
self...

- What method do you use so that the string value of an enumerator is displayed?arrow_forwardMethod: sumOdds(value: int): This method will sum all the odd values from 1 upto the value passed by parameter. This will display the sumas an integer value.Method: characterCount(phrase: str): This method will count the number of characters in the phrase that is passed by parameter. You cannot useany built in function ( ie len() ) and must use a looping activity. This should display the number of characters inthe phrase as an integerMethod: multiplicationPractice(): This method is to practice simple multiplication problems. The program should randomly generate twonumbers from 1-10 for the user to multiply. It should display the multiplication problem and allow the user toanswer the problem. It should display if the user got the answer correct or incorrect. The activity shouldcontinue until the user has gotten 3 different practice problems correct.Method: order(value1: int, value2: int, value3: int): This method is to order the 3 passed value from least to greatest.

- Assignment 4 - Car Maintenance This assignment will assess your understanding of void and value returning static methods. Your cousin owns an automotive maintenance shop that performs routine maintenance on cars. He has asked you to write a program that will provide a list of services (and their respective prices) to users and allow them to choose any, or all, services they would like and display the final price, including a 28% labor charge, a 9% markup if the car is an import, and an 8% sales tax. Task To accomplish the above, do the following: • Write the two methods outlined below. • Test your program and screenshot your successful test. carMaintenance method This method should accept the make of the car as a parameter (e.g., BMW, Ford, Ferrari, etc.). It should display the services and their prices as follows: Services: Oil Change, Tune up, Brake Job, Transmission Service, respectively: 59.99, 111.99, 189.99, 149.99 These should be stored in parallel arrays.
