Car Instrument Simulator
For this assignment, you will design a set of classes that work together to simulate a car’s fuel gauge and odometer. The classes you will design are the following:
- The Fuel Gauge Class: This class will simulate a fuel gauge. Its responsibilities are as follows:
- To know the car’s current amount of fuel, in gallons.
- To report the car’s current amount of fuel, in gallons.
- To be able to increment the amount of fuel by 1 gallon. This simulates putting fuel in the car. (The car can hold a maximum of 15 gallons.)
- To be able to decrement the amount of fuel by 1 gallon, if the amount of fuel is greater than 0 gallons. This simulates burning fuel as the car runs.
- The Odometer Class: This class will simulate the car’s odometer. Its responsibilities are as follows:
- To know the car’s current mileage.
- To report the car’s current mileage.
- To be able to increment the current mileage by 1 mile. The maximum mileage the odometer can store is 999,999 miles. When this amount is exceeded, the odometer resets the current mileage to 0.
- To be able to work with a FuelGauge object. It should decrease the FuelGauge object’s current amount of fuel by 1 gallon for every 24 miles traveled. (The car’s fuel economy is 24 miles per gallon.)
Demonstrate the classes by creating instances of each. Simulate filling the car up with fuel, and then run a loop that increments the odometer until the car runs out of fuel. During each loop iteration, print the car’s current mileage and amount of fuel.

Dice Rolling Class
In this problem, you will need to create a program that simulates rolling dice. To start this project, you will first need to define the properties and behaviors of a single die that can be reused multiple times in your future code. This will be done by creating a Dice class.
Create a Dice class that contains the following members:
Two private integer variables to store the minimum and maximum roll possible.
Two constructors that initialize the data members that store the min/max possible values of rolls.
a constructor with default min/max values.
a constructor that takes 2 input arguments corresponding to the min and max roll values
Create a roll() function that returns a random number that is uniformly distributed between the minimum and maximum possible roll values.
Create a small test program that asks the user to give a minValue and maxValue for a die, construct a single object of the Dice class with the constructor that initializes the min and max…

- The Spider Game Introduction: In this assignment you will be implementing a game that simulates a spider hunting for food using python. The game is played on a varying size grid board. The player controls a spider. The spider, being a fast creature, moves in the pattern that emulates a knight from the game of chess. There is also an ant that slowly moves across the board, taking steps of one square in one of the eight directions. The spider's goal is to eat the ant by entering the square it currently occupies, at which point another ant begins moving across the board from a random starting location. Game Definition: The above Figure illustrates the game. The yellow box shows the location of the spider. The green box is the current location of the ant. The blue boxes are the possible moves the spider could make. The red arrow shows the direction that the ant is moving - which, in this case, is the horizontal X-direction. When the ant is eaten, a new ant is randomly placed on one of the…arrow_forwardRectangle Object Monitoring Create a Rectangle class that can compute the total area of all the created rectangle objects using static fields (variables). Remember that a Rectangle has two attributes: Length and Width. Implement the class by creating a computer program that will ask the user about three rectangle dimensions. The program should be able to display the total area of the three rectangle objects. For this exercise, you are required to apply all OOP concepts that you learned in class. Sample output: Enter Length R1: 1 Enter Width R1: 1 Enter Length R2: 2 Enter Width R2: 2 Enter Length R3: 3 Enter Width R3: 3 The total area of the rectangles is 14.00 Note: All characters in boldface are user inputs.arrow_forwardjava programming language You are part of a team writing classes for the different game objects in a video game. You need to write classes for the two human objects warrior and politician. A warrior has the attributes name (of type String) and speed (of type int). Speed is a measure of how fast the warrior can run and fight. A politician has the attributes name (of type String) and diplomacy (of type int). Diplomacy is the ability to outwit an adversary without using force. From this description identify a superclass as well as two subclasses. Each of these three classes need to have a default constructor, a constructor with parameters for all the instance variables in that class (as well as any instance variables inherited from a superclass) accessor (get) and mutator (set) methods for all instance variables and a toString method. The toString method needs to return a string representation of the object. Also write a main method for each class in which that class is tested – create…arrow_forward
