Here is the start to our Pizza class, type this code and save it.

1. Give examples of attributes for class Pizza

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
2. What is the purpose of pizza_cost=0.0 in the __init__ method ?

3. Now we are going to include customer2 object information

(“Scott”,”Vegetarian”,12) and call the method displayorder().
pizza_size is an int not a string datatype so do you think it
will print the customer2 information?
Your predicted result …………………………………………………………………………………….
Now run the program and compare whether it matches your result

Continuing on from activity 2 we have added a new method cost()

1) Complete typing the cost() method and calling customer1.cost()

and customer2.cost() before displayorder() method. Why do you think
cost() method is called before displayorder() method?

2) After completely typing the code run the program. Does your
program run properly if not what do you think is the problem? Debug
the code.

3) What do you think will be the total for customer2’s order? Do you
think it has been calculated correctly? If not give your reasons.
