Fill-in-the-Blank
A constructor is automatically called when an object is _________.
A. Car Class
Create a Python Program where you write a class
named Car that has the following data attributes:
• _ _year_model (for the car's year model)
• __make (for the make of the car)
• _ _speed (for the car's current speed)
The Car class should have an _init_ method that
accepts the car's year model and make as arguments.
These values should be assigned to the object's
_year_model and
make data attributes. It should
also assign 0 to the __speed data attribute.
The class should also have the following methods:
accelerate()
The accelerate method should add 5 to the speed data
attribute each time it is called.
brake()
The brake method should subtract 5 from the speed
data attribute each time it is called.
• get_speed()
The get_speed method should return the current speed.
Next, design a program that creates a Car object then
calls the accelerate method five times. After each call
to the accelerate method, get the current speed of the
car and display it. Then call the brake method…
