Question

Python programming I need help with the following:

Create a class Vehicle. The class should have name, weight, fuel, number of wheels and move attributes/methods. Create child class that are semi, car, sail boat and bicycle. Give the class the ability to have a constructor that sets the name. Have the other attributes hard coded to suit the vehicle. Give each a way of speaking their attributes as well as the type of animal. For example “Hi I am Lightening McQueen the race car, I use extra special fuel have four wheels, weigh 2000 lbs and speed from place to place”. Create a call to instantiate one of each child.

Answer 1

class Vehicle(object): # no instance of this class should be created

print('Vehicle Type: ' + str(self.typ))
