Chapter 11.2, Problem 5CP
Look at the following class definitions:
class Vegetable:
def _ _init_ _(self, vegtype):
self._ _vegtype = vegtype
def message(self):
print("I'm a vegetable.")
class Potato(Vegetable):
def_ _init_ _(self):
Vegetable._ _init_ _(self, 'potato')
def message(self):
print("I'm a potato.")
Given these class definitions, what will the following statements display?
v = Vegetable('veggie')
p = Potato()
v.message()
p.message ()

Parent Class: Food
Write a parent class called Food. A food is described by a name, the number of grams of sugar (as a whole number), and the number of grams of sodium (as a whole number).
Core Class Components
For the Food class, write:
the complete class header
the instance data variables
a constructor that sets the instance data variables based on parameters
getters and setters; use validity checking on the parameters where appropriate
a toString method that returns a text representation of a Food object that includes all three characteristics of the food
Class-Specific Method
Write a method that calculates what percent of the daily recommended amount of sugar is contained in a food. The daily recommended amount might change, so the method takes in the daily allowance and then calculates the percentage.
For example, let's say a food had 6 grams of sugar. If the daily allowance was 24 grams, the percent would be 0.25. For that same food, if the daily allowance was 36 grams, the…
