Problem statement

You have to implement 3 classes, School, Team, and Player, such that an instance of a School should contain instances of Team objects. Similarly, a Team object can contain instances of Player class.

Consider this diagram for clarification:

School, Team, Player: Class Representation

You have to implement a School class containing a list of Team objects and a Team class comprising a list of Player objects.

Task 1

The Player class should have three properties that will be set using an initializer:

ID

name

teamName

Task 2

The Team class will have two properties that will be set using an initializer:

name

players: a list with player class objects in it

It will have two methods:

addPlayer(), which will add new player objects in the players list

getNumberOfPlayers(), which will return the total number of players in the players list

Task 3

The School class will contain two properties that will be set using an initializer:

teams, a list of team class objects

name

It will have two methods:

addTeam, which will add new team objects in the teams list

getTotalPlayersInSchool(), which will count the total players in all of the teams in the School and return the count

So, your school should have these players in their respective teams:

Player ID’s Player Names Teams

1 Harris Red

2 Carol Red

1 Johnny Blue

2 Sarah Blue

Coding exercise

First, take a close look, and then, design a step-by-step algorithm before trying the implementation. This problem is designed for your practice, so initially, try to solve it on your own. If you get stuck, you can always refer to the solution provided in the next lesson.
