2. Polygon Class with *args

Write a Polygon class.

Set the Polygon’s sides on calling the Polygon class.

Since a polygon can have varying numbers of sides, use packing of positional arguments, via *args.

Use def __init__(self, *args) to pack the arguments.

e.g. tri1 = Polygon(3, 4, 5)

e.g. rect1 = Polygon(6, 8, 6, 8)

Write a method to return the perimeter of a polygon.

Write code to ouput:

tri1 with sides (3, 4, 5), has a perimeter of 12.

rect1 with sides (6, 8, 6, 8), has a perimeter of 28.

Tasks

1. Write a Polygon class using the scaffold below.

   class Polygon:
   
       def __init__(self, *args):
           self.sides = args
   
       def perimeter(self):
           return sum(           )
   
   tri1 = Polygon( 3, 4, 5)
   print(f'tri1 with sides {      }, has a perimeter of {            }.')
   rect1 = Polygon( 6, 8, 6, 8)
   print(f'rect1 with sides {      }, has a perimeter of {            }.')
   

Q1

Write a Polygon class.

class Polygon:

    def __init__(self, *args):
        self.sides = args

    def perimeter(self):
        return sum(self.sides)

tri1 = Polygon(3, 4, 5)
print(f'tri1 with sides {tri1.sides}, has a perimeter of {tri1.perimeter()}.')
rect1 = Polygon(6, 8, 6, 8)
print(f'rect1 with sides {rect1.sides}, has a perimeter of {rect1.perimeter()}.')
