Program Specifications Write a FancyCar class to support basic operations such as drive, add gas, honk horn and start engine.
fancy_car.py is provided with function stubs. Follow each step to gradually complete all instance methods.
Note: This program is designed for incremental development. Complete each step and submit for grading before starting the next step. Only
a portion of tests pass after each step but confirm progress. The main program includes basic calls to the instance methods. Add
statements in the main program as instance methods are completed to support development mode testing.
**Step 0: Complete the constructor to initialize the model and miles per gallon (MPG) with the values of the parameters. Initialize the
odometer to five miles and the tank to be full of gas. By default, the model is initialized to "Old Clunker", and MPG is initialized to 24.0. Note
the provided constant variable indicates the gas tank capacity of 14.0 gallons.

- Reza Enterprises sells tickets for buses, tours, and other travel services. Because Reza frequently mistypes long ticket numbers, Reza Enterprises has asked his students to write an application that shows if a ticket is invalid. Your application/program tellsthe ticket agent to enter a six-digit ticket number. Ticket numbers are designed so that if you lose the last digit of the number, then divide by 7, the remainder of the division is exactly the same to the last dropped digit. This process is shown below: Step 1: Enter the ticket number; for example 123454 Step 2: Remove the last digit, leaving 12345 Step 3: Determine the remainder when the ticket number from step 2 is divided by 7. In this case, 12345 divided by 7 leaves a remainder of 4. Step 4: Display a message to the ticket agent indicating whether the ticket number is valid or not.. Test your application with the following ticket numbers: - 123454; is a valid ticket number - 147103; is a valid ticket number -…arrow_forwardI need help with this problem.

- In this problem you will calculate the area of a house and compare it with another house to see which one is bigger. House1 vs. House2 We need to have a struct that has width and length in it. This struct represents a rectangular room. From room we need to define: Bathroom, Livingroom, Bedroom and Kitchen. An example of the struct and Bathroom, Livingroom, Bedroom and Kitchen is shown below. Also, it is shown how to set value of Bathroom Length and Width- values are assumed in feet. House area is in Square Feet (sqrft) and can be calculated by adding all room areas together in sqrft. Program example: Struct room { Length; Width: }; Struct room Bathroom1 , Livingroom1, Kitchen1, Bedroom1; Bathroom1.Length=10; Bathroom1.Width=7; Now Given: House1 is comprised of: Bedroom1 (L=15,W=10) Bathroom1 (L=10,W=7) Kitchen1(L=15, W= 10) Livingroom1 (L=25,W=20) House2 is comprised of: Bedroom2_1 (L=10, W=10) Bedroom2_2(L=10, W=12) Kitchen2(L=16,W=10) Livingroom2 (L=15,W=12) Calculate each House area…arrow_forwardIN PYTHON PLEASE AND FLOWCHART DRAWING COMPUTERIZED PLEASE!! In many businesses across the country, people are buying food and goods using cash. Whenever a purchase is made with cash, it is usual that change must be back to the customer. Business point of sales software help to ensure that the correct change is return to a customer by providing detailed information of the change that should be returned to the customer. using the fewest number of bills and coins. In this assignment, you are asked to design and implement a program that writes out what bills (ones, fives, tens, twenties) and coins (pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters) that should be returned to the customer given two inputs from the user: A total cost of a sale. The amount that was paid by the customer. Ensure that your output is grammatically correct.

To save time, when a new order comes in, a special shorthand is used to describe the order. The rules for their shorthand are as follows • The first character is "T" for a set of tables, or "C" for a set of chairs. If the order includes both tables and chairs, the order shorthand begins with "TC" • Next they indicate the number of tables or chairs for the order. If the order includes both tables and chairs, they'll write the number of table first, then the number of chairs, separated by a dash. An order comes in for three standard tables constructed using Oakwood. What would the order shorthand be for this order?arrow_forward
