Students may also include a list of songs on the CD and methods to access them.
A song itself would probably have its own class to represent it. However this
concept is more advanced than is necessary at this stage.
1.4 Suppose the Vehicle class in Exercise 1 is used in a program that keeps track of
vehicle registration for the Department of Motor Vehicles. What kinds of
instance variables would you define for such Vehicle objects? Can you think of
any useful class variables for the Vehicle class?
Instance variables
owner
licenseID
registrationNumber
make
model
color
value
Class variables
At this stage, the number of total vehicles could be thought to belong to
the class. Information relating to the length of a licenseID or
registrationNumber could be stored as class constants. Aside from these,
there are no obviously necessary traits for which all vehicles share the
same value or which the class may need to function.
1.5 Suppose the following formulas are used to compute the annual vehicle
registration fee for the vehicle registration program in Exercise 1.4:
• For cars, the annual fee is 2 percent of the value of the car.
• For trucks, the annual fee is 5 percent of the loading capacity (in
pounds) of the truck.
Define two new classes Car and Truck as subclasses of Vehicle.
Hint: Associate class and instance variables common to both Car and T
