Exercise 1


class Bob:
   def __init__( self ):
        self._a = None

   def setA( self, x ):
        self._a = x

   def getA( self ):
       return self._a


Question 1
Create an object of type Bob, call it x, and set its member variable to 4
Question 2
Add 10 to the member variable of x.
Question 3
print the object contents of Object x. First by getting _a from x and printing it, then by adding a new method to Bob so that we can print objects just by passing them to print()


Exercise 2


This exercise is very similar to Exercise 1, but the definition of self._a is now self.a. Answer the same 3 questions.



Exercise 3


Go back to Bob containing a private member variable.

Question 1
Create 2 objects of type Bob, each containing the values 45 and 70, respectively, and save them in a list called L. Verify that the list contains these 2 objects.


Question 2
Change the value of the first element of the list to 10, and the value of the second one to 20. Verify that the change was made.


Question 3
Create 20 objects of type Bob, each containing 1, 2, 3,... 20, respectively, and save them in a list called L2. Display the contents of the list.


Question 4
Reset the values in all 20 objects in L2 to 0. Verify that the reset operation was successful.


Exercise 4


This exercise is very similar to Exercise 3, but we construct a new class that contains a list of objects of type Bob. Answer the same questions as in Exercise 3.
