Write a python program to display the menu for your favorite type of food. The program should start by prompting the user for two options:

1. Adult Menu
2. Children Menu

These two options will direct the user to two different menus. In each of these two menus display 3 options of food with prices. Prompt the user for their selection and how many of each. Finally, display the final selections with the total price.

Write on paper an application with Object Oriented Design (OOD). The application, Chairs, contains two files:
One file: A class, Chair
Class Chair has one attribute, the only instance field, numberOfLegs. This attribute’s type is Integer

A property to ensure consistent states: always positive numberOfLegs. It should display a message “Invalid number of legs. This chair has been created with one leg.” And do so.

Chair has one behavior, the only method: changeNumOfLegs. This method, like the property, will not allow for the number to be less than 1.

The other file: Module, Main
In main, create two objects of the class Chair, one of them, myChair, is instantiated with 2 legs. The other one, yourChair, is instantiated with -3 legs.
Change both objects to have 4 legs.

Class Car has two attributes; the two instance fields for this class are numberOfDoors (Integer) and maker (String). The class also has the properties to ensure the two fields are neither 0 nor blank.

Class Car has two behaviors, the two methods for this class are changeNumberOfDoors and changeMaker and like the properties for these fields, they will not allow changes to zero or blank fields.

A Module: Main
Create two objects of the class Car, one of them, myCar, is instantiated with two doors and Nissan. The other, yourCar, is instantiated with 0 doors and “ ”.
Change both objects to have 5 doors and Subaru.

Write on paper an application with Object Oriented Design (OOD). The application, UnitConv, contains two files:

A class: LengthUnits
Class LengthUnit has two attributes; the two instance fields for this class are feet (Single) and inches (Single). The class also has the properties to ensure the two fields are greater than or equal to zero.

Class LengthUnit has two behaviors; the two methods for this class are changeUnits and DisplayUnits. The changeUnits method will make the conversion from feet to meters and inches to centimeters. The DisplayUnit method will display the new units on the screen.

A Module: Main
In Main, your program will prompt the user for two inputs: feet and inches and create an object of the class LengthUnit then, it will call (invoke) the methods to convert the units and to display then.

Note: if you did this assignment in class, noticed that I made changes to the specifications. It is ok to leave it the way you have done it already.

Mrs. Elia’s Company Policy*

                                                                                        60% Quizzes and Tests
Homework
The student is responsible for completion and correction of homework assigned.
Homework will be checked every day. Neatness and completeness are a must. All material should be kept in a folder. Programs must be saved on your storage device.

Visual Basic Programming folder (Company rules must be included)
Your folder should contain homework, class notes, class activities, projects, pop quizzes, quizzes and tests as well as your programs. I will collect it at random without notice every marking period for grading.
Note: After the final, you can leave all the material home and start with a clean folder on the second semester.
Tardiness… Class starts immediately!

Absence
Student is responsible for making up work missed. Check Mrs. Elia’s classes in the PHS website for lessons and assignments.. Hours after school can also be scheduled by appointment.

Absent for a test or quiz
If you are absent the day of an announced quiz or test, you are expected to take the quiz/test on the day you return. In any other circumstance the make up test and quiz must be taken within the first two days after returning to school. If the make up is not taken, it is a zero.

  Cheating policy “Absolute zero”. Plus parents will be contacted. Programs should be your own creation.
  Getting solutions to assignments  from the publisher’s site is considered cheating.

Textbook: As soon as you get your book, write your name on the back of front cover. It must be covered at all times and well cared for. The cost of your book is $78. Book must be returned in good conditions (or pay a fine) 10 days before end of school. Otherwise report cards will be withheld.
