5. Vehicle Class

Write a PHP class called 'Vehicle' with properties like 'brand', 'model', and 'year'. Implement a method to display the vehicle details.

Sample Solution:

PHP Code :

<?php
class Vehicle {
    private $brand;
    private $model;
    private $year;

    public function __construct($brand, $model, $year) {
        $this->brand = $brand;
        $this->model = $model;
        $this->year = $year;
    }

    public function displayDetails() {
        echo "Brand: " . $this->brand . "</br>";
        echo "Model: " . $this->model . "</br>";
        echo "Year: " . $this->year . "</br>";
    }
}
$car = new Vehicle("Ford", "F-150", 2020);
$car->displayDetails();
?>

Sample Output:

Brand: Ford
Model: F-150
Year: 2020

Explanation:

In the above exercise -

The "Vehicle" class has three private properties: $brand, $model, and $year, which represent the brand, model, and manufacturing year of the vehicle.
The constructor method "__construct()" is used to initialize the values of the properties when creating a new instance of the Vehicle class.
The "displayDetails()" method displays vehicle details by echoing the properties values.
