We use the _____ operator to create an instance of (object in) a particular class.
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…

- T/F: Instance variables are shared by all the instances of the class. T/F: The scope of instance and static variables is the entire class. They can be declared anywhere inside a class. T/F: To declare static variables, constants, and methods, use the static modifier.arrow_forwardTrue or False An interface can be used to define a set of methods that a class must implement.arrow_forwardObject Oriented Programming in JAVA You are part of a team writing classes for the different game objects in a video game. You need to write classes for the two human objects warrior and politician. A warrior has the attributes name (of type String) and speed (of type int). Speed is a measure of how fast the warrior can run and fight. A politician has the attributes name (of type String) and diplomacy (of type int). Diplomacy is the ability to outwit an adversary without using force. From this description identify a superclass as well as two subclasses. Each of these three classes need to have a default constructor, a constructor with parameters for all the instance variables in that class (as well as any instance variables inherited from a superclass) accessor (get) and mutator (set) methods for all instance variables and a toString method. The toString method needs to return a string representation of the object. Also write a main method for each class in which that class is…arrow_forward
