Write a class named Taxicab that has three **private** data members: one that holds the current x-coordinate, one that holds the current y-coordinate, and one that holds the odometer reading (the actual odometer distance driven by the Taxicab, not the Euclidean distance from its starting point). The class should have an init method that takes two parameters and uses them to initialize the coordinates, and also initializes the odometer to zero. The class should have get methods for each data member: get_x_coord, get_y_coord, and get_odometer. The class does not need any set methods. It should have a method called move_x that takes a parameter that tells how far the Taxicab should shift left or right. It should have a method called move_y that takes a parameter that tells how far the Taxicab should shift up or down. For example, the Taxicab class might be used as follows:

See explaination

Explanation:

class Taxicab():

def __init__(self, x, y):

self.x_coordinate = x

self.y_coordinate = y

self.odometer = 0

def get_x_coord(self):

return self.x_coordinate

def get_y_coord(self):

return self.y_coordinate

def get_odometer(self):

return self.odometer

def move_x(self, distance):

self.x_coordinate += distance

# add the absolute distance to odometer

self.odometer += abs(distance)

def move_y(self, distance):

self.y_coordinate += distance

# add the absolute distance to odometer

self.odometer += abs(distance)

cab = Taxicab(5,-8)

cab.move_x(3)

cab.move_y(-4)

cab.move_x(-1)

print(cab.odometer) # will print 8 3+4+1 = 8

to change your username, you must:

1) make sure what the username you want to change to is allowed in this community

2) contact a administrator (for example, jaysl)

3) through pm, tell the admin what you want to change to

4) if the username is allowed, it will be changed in a matter of seconds (minutes at most)
