Object Attributes - Lab

Introduction

In this lab, you'll practice defining classes and instance methods.

Objectives

You will be able to:

• Define and call an instance method
• Define and access instance attributes

Defining Classes and Instance Methods

In the cell below define a Driver class.

For this class, create a method called greet_passenger(), which returns the string Hello! I'll be your driver today. My name is followed by that driver's first name and last name (i.e. Hello! I'll be your driver today. My name is John Doe). (Be sure to keep in mind that the driver's name will be stored under two separate attributes: first and last.)

# Define Driver Class here with properties for each instance variable

Great! Now create an instance of your driver class. Then, create the following attributes for your instance:

• first - the first name of the driver. Set it to Matthew.
• last - the last name of the driver. Set it to Mitchell.
• miles_driven - the number of miles driven by the driver. Set it to 100.
• rating - the driver's rating. Set it to 4.9

Finally, use your greet_passenger() method for your Driver instance object.

# Create an instance with the above 4 attributes and then call the greet_passenger method

Now, create a passenger class with one method yell_name() which prints the passenger's first and last name in all caps. (Again first and last will be stored as separate attributes.)

# Define Passenger Class here with properties for each instance variable

Create an instance of your passenger class. Then create an attribute "first" set to "Ron" and an attribute "last" set to "Burgundy". Then call the yell_name() method.

# Create an instance of the passenger class with the first and last attributes. Then call the yell_name method

Great work!

Summary

In this lab, you practiced defining classes, creating instances of said classes, and using methods that made calls to object attributes.
