Your task this week is to write a very simple spam classifier in python. it will classify messages as either spam (unwanted) or ham (wanted). the program will have a set of spam_words, words that are known to appear in spam messages. that set is included in the template file spam.pypreview the document. you will also define a spam threshold which reflects the allowed percentage of spam words in the message. you'll compute a 'spam indicator', which is the ratio of spam words to the total number of unique words in the message. if the spam indicator exceeds the spam threshold, the message is classified as spam. otherwise it is classified as ham. we'll assume that the spam threshold is a constant and has a value of 0.10. your program will prompt the user for a message and then will print the corresponding spam indicator with two decimal digits and the corresponding classification (spam or ham). the program will be case insensitive. the spam words are detected whether they are in lower case or upper case or mixed case. each word, spam or not, is counted once (even if it appears multiple times in the message.) the program will remove punctuation from the message before identifying the words and computing the spam indicator. for example '! ' must be identified as the spam word 'now'.

Write a car class having two private member variables called tank and speed. write public methods called pumpgas and gofast. the method pumpgas gets an integer for gas that must be pumped. that value needs to be added to tank (no more than 20 gallons). it must return the amount of gas that is purchased ($4 per gallon). the method gofast should increase the speed by 5 each time it is called.write a constructor for the above class that initialized both variables to zero.write a tostring to display both the tank and speed when the car is printed.modify the car class to implement the interface comparable and an interface called carinter having the public methods in carinter.write the main program to create an array of size 5 of type car. create 5 car objects having each location of the array to refer to one of the cars. test the pumpgas, gofast, equals method on the array items. write an enhanced loop to print all the car values (using a tostring written last time).write a generic method to find the minimum of four items. pass int, double, char, string and car objects to test this method.
