Explanation of Solution

Constant:

The variable is defined as constant variable when the data item cannot be changed while the program is running.

  • Constants are mostly used to define default values.
    • For example: PI has the constant value 3.14.
  • Consider the following statement in a Java class, the number 143 is constant, every time the java application containing the below statement with constant 143 is executed, the value 143 is displayed.

System.out.println(143);

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…
