The pin should be generated randomly when the account object is created. The initial balance should be 0. get_pin () should return the pin. check_pin (pin) should check the argument against the saved pin and return True if it matches, False if it does not. deposit (amount) should receive the amount as the argument, add the amount to the account and return the new balance. withraw (amount) should check if the amount can be withdrawn (not more than is in the account), If so, remove the argument amount from the account and return the new balance if the transaction was successful.

- Practice with writing a program that contains three classes: Ship CruiseShip CargoShip Classes Design a Ship class with the following members: A field for the name of the ship (a string) A field for the year that the ship was built (a string) A constructor that accepts two arguments for the two fields, and appropriate accessors and mutators A toString method that returns a string with the ship’s name and the year it was built Design a CruiseShip class that extends the Ship class. The CruiseShip class should have the following members: A field for the maximum number of passengers (an int) A constructor that accepts three arguments for the three fields and appropriate accessors and mutators A toString method that overrides the toString method in the base class. The CruiseShip class’s toString method should return a string with only the ship’s name and the maximum number of passengers. Design a CargoShip class that extends the Ship class.

Be sure your Inventory class defines the private data fields, at least one constructor, accessor and mutator methods, method overloading (to handle the data coming into the Inventory class as either a String and/or int/float), as well as all of the methods (methods to calculate) to manipulate the Inventory class (object). The data fields in the Inventory class include the inventory product number (int), inventory product description (String), inventory product price (float), inventory quantity on hand (int), inventory quantity on order (int), and inventory quantity sold (int). The Inventory class (java file) should also contain all of the static data fields, as well as static methods to handle the logic in counting all of the objects processed (counter), as well as totals (accumulators) for the total product inventory and the total product…arrow_forwardMonth Class Exceptions Write a class named Month. The class should have an int field named monthNumber that holds the number of the month. For example, Janauary would be 1, February would be 2, and so forth. In addition, provide the following methods: A no-arg constructor that sets the monthNumber field to 1. A constructor that accepts the number of the month as an argument. It should set the monthNumber value to the value passed as the argument. If a value less than 1 or greater than 12 is passed, the constructor should throw an InvalidMonthNumberException. A constructor that accepts the name of the month, such as “January” or “February”, as an argument. It should set the monthNumber field to the correct corresponding value. If an invalid name is passed, the constructor should throw an InvalidMonthNameException. A setMonthNumber method that accepts an int argument, which is assigned to the monthNumber field.
