Chapter 10, Problem 4TF
Explanation of Solution
Purpose of “self” parameter:
- • It is required in every method of a class.
- • This parameter refers to the specific object that the method operates on.
- • It must be present in a method.
- • It is automatically assigned to the object that was just created.
Example:
#define the class Emp_class
class Emp_class:
#defined the init method
def __init__(self, name, salary):
#assign name
self.name = name
#assign salary
self...

Coupling is the amount two methods or classes know about one another. The more they know about one another, the more tightly coupled the design.
True/False
Overloading is achieved when two or more methods in the same class have the same:
return type
parameter type
method name
method signatures
You need a method to avoid accidental corruption of class fields.

Your class should include: An instance variable for the number of sides on the die. A constructor that allows you to specify the number of sides on the die. This method shouldcheck that there are at least 2 sides; if not, it should default to having 6 sides. A toString method that returns a description of the die, including its number of sides. A roll method that randomly returns one of the numbers on the die. Each number should have an equal probabilityof being returned. Assume that the numbers on the die range from 1 to the number of sides. A testDie method that takes one parameter for the number of times to roll the die. This method should roll the diethat number of times, keeping track of the results. Once all rolls are complete, the method should display statisticson how many times each number appeared, and the corresponding percentage.
