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 type must self be for the __str__ method?
Method: 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. It should display…

- Travel Tickets Company sells tickets for airlines, tours, and other travel-related services. Because ticket agents frequently mistype long ticket numbers, Travel Tickets has asked you to write an application that indicates invalid ticket number entries. The class prompts a ticket agent to enter a six-digit ticket number. Ticket numbers are designed so that if you drop the last digit of the number, then divide the number by 7, the remainder of the division will be identical to the last dropped digit. Accept the ticket number from the agent and verify whether it is a valid number. Test the application with the following ticket numbers: . 123454; the comparison should evaluate to true . 147103; the comparison should evaluate to true . 154123; the comparison should evaluate to false Save the program as TicketNumber.java.arrow_forwardMONTY HALL LAB write this code in python and use # to answers questions - You are only allowed to use the following functions/methods: print(), range(), len(), sum(), max(), min(), and .append().
