Define a Trivia class that contains information about a single trivia question. The question and answer should be defined as instance variables of type String. Create accessor and mutator methods. In your man method create two Trivia objects with questions and answers of your choice. Then for each Trivia object have your program ask the question input an answer, compare the typed answer to the actual answer, and output if the user’s answer was correct or incorrect.

In python how do you:
Complete the FoodItem class by adding a constructor to initialize a food item. The constructor should initialize the name to "None" and all other instance attributes to 0.0 by default. If the constructor is called with a food name, grams of fat, grams of carbohydrates, and grams of protein, the constructor should assign each instance attribute with the appropriate parameter value.
The given program accepts as input a food item name, fat, carbs, and protein and the number of servings. The program creates a food item using the constructor parameters' default values and a food item using the input values. The program outputs the nutritional information and calories per serving for both food items.
Ex: If the input is:
M&M's
10.0
34.0
2.0
1.0
where M&M's is the food name, 10.0 is the grams of fat, 34.0 is the grams of carbohydrates, 2.0 is the grams of protein, and 1.0 is the number of servings, the output is:
Nutritional information per serving of None:…

Pleased Write a program that calculates the average of courses, overall grade, and letter grade. Suppose that your students take four courses - English, Mathematics, Science, and History. You should design a class that accepts all four course's numeric scores, calculates average and overall grade, and decides letter grade based on the overall grade. Your class should have a constructor, get and set methods of each course, a method that calculates the average of four courses, a method that calculates overall grade, and a method that decides letter grade. The overall grades are calculated as the following rate:
Average of All four courses: 50%
Quiz: 40%
Attendance: 10%
The letter grade is based on the following:
90.0 to 100.0 - A
80.0 to 89.9 - B
70.0 to 79.9 - C
65.0 to 69.9 - D
less than 65 - F
Your program demonstrates the class by asking the user to input four-course numeric scores, creating an object, and then reporting each course's score, average, overall grade, and letter…
6. Write a class with a constructor that accepts a String object as its argument. The class should have a method that returns the number of b, c, d, f, g, h, and z in the string. Demonstrate the class in a program that asks the user to enter a string and returns the number of b, c, d, f, g, h, and z in the user string.

- Program - Python Make a class. It should be something really offbeat and zany. The most important thing is to write a simple class, create TWO different instances, and then be able to do something. For example, create a pizza instance for Suzie, ask her for the toppings from the choices, and store her pizza order. Then create a second pizza instance for Larry, ask for his toppings and store his pizza order. Then print both of their orders back out. You do not need to make your class very complicated. -Make sure your class has a constructor that will set some initial properties. -Have one constructor and then make one other setter method to re-seed initial values to something different if desired. -Make sure your class has two functions that do something. -Make sure you class has one or two variables/attributes. -Make sure your class has a simple data structure like a list or tuple or set or dictionary.arrow_forwardCreate a program that will count the number of numeric characters in an input string. The program should be able to ask the user for the input string and should be able to display the number of numeric characters on the screen.

- I am having trouble with doing this code on Python: Define the Artist class with a constructor to initialize an artist's information and a print_info() method. The constructor should by default initialize the artist's name to "None" and the years of birth and death to 0. print_info() should display Artist Name, born XXXX if the year of death is -1 or Artist Name (XXXX-YYYY) otherwise. Define the Artwork class with a constructor to initialize an artwork's information and a print_info() method. The constructor should by default initialize the title to "None", the year created to 0, and the artist to use the Artist default constructor parameter values. Ex: If the input is: Pablo Picasso 1881 1973 Three Musicians 1921 the output is: Artist: Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) Title: Three Musicians, 1921 If the input is: Brice Marden 1938 -1 Distant Muses 2000 the output is: Artist: Brice Marden, born 1938 Title: Distant Muses, 2000arrow_forwardCreate a Right Triangle class that has two sides. Name your class rightTraingle. Code getter and setters for the base and the height. (Remember class variables are private.) The class should include a two-argument constructor that allows the program to set the base and height. The constructor should verify that all the dimensions are greater than 0. before assigning the values to the private data members. If a side is not greater than zero, set the value to -1. The class also should include two value-returning methods. One value-returning method should calculate the area of a triangle, and the other should calculate the perimeter of a triangle. If either side is -1, these functions return a -1. The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is 1/2 * b*h, where b is the base and h is the height. The formula for calculating the perimeter of a triangle is b+h+sqrt (b*b+h*h). Be sure to include a default constructor that initializes the variables of the base, height to -1.
