Vehicle Performance & Fuel Costs (Python)

#Vehicle Performance & Fuel Costs

#How To - Calculate Fuel Consumption

#Step1 - customize the behavior of drive method in ElectricCar and IceCar classes
#Car
class Car:                                  #class = Car. Method & definition(s) are defined below this level. 
    def __init__(self, brand, milage_km):   #method = __Self@Car__(parameter1, parameter2, parameter3).
        self.brand = brand                  #parameter.variable = parameter.
        self.milage_km = milage_km          #parameter.variable = parameter.
        
    def drive(self, distance_km):
        self.milage_km = self.milage_km + distance_km

#Electric_Car
class Electric_Car(Car):                    #Writing "Electric(Car)" allows the "Electric_Car class" to inherit the properties of "Car" from above.
    def __init__(self, brand, milage_km, range):
        super().__init__(brand, milage_km)
        self.range = range                  #parameter.variable = paramater 'range of the vehicle'

    def drive(self, distance_km):
        self.range -= distance_km           #parameter(Self@Electric_Car).variable(range) -= parameter range subtracted by distance parameter

#IceCar
class IceCar(Car):
    def __init__(self, brand, milage_km, range, fuel_consumption, fuel_level):
        super().__init__(brand, milage_km)
        self.range = range
        self.fuel_consumption = fuel_consumption
        self.fuel_level = fuel_level

    def drive(self, distance_km):
        self.range -= distance_km
        self.fuel_level -= distance_km * (self.fuel_consumption/100)

Given this example, customize the behavior of drive:
Inside ElectricCar class
redefine the drive(self, distance) function again
it will have same behavior regarding milage_km
but add in at the end some code so that the self.range gets subtracted by the drive distance
Test the drive behavior of ElectricCar class
initialize an object from ElectricCar class my_ev
call my_ev.drive(some_distance) a few times
notice via print(my_ev.__dict__) that the range has been reduced
Inside IceCar class
redefine the drive(self, distance) function again
it will have same behavior regarding milage_km
but add in at the end some code so that the self.fuel_level gets subtracted by the drive distance*fuel_consumption/100 (how much fuel we will consume)
Test the drive behavior of IceCar class
initialize an object from ElectricCar class my_ice_car
call my_ice_car.drive(some_distance) a few times
notice via print(my_ice_car.__dict__) that the fuel_level has been reduced
