# random Person
class Person:
    def __init__(self, name, age):
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

    @classmethod
    def fromBirthYear(cls, name, birthYear):
        return cls(name, date.today().year - birthYear)

    def display(self):
        print(self.name + "'s age is: " + str(self.age))

person = Person('Adam', 19)
person.display()

person1 = Person.fromBirthYear('John',  1985)

class Float:
    def __init__(self, amount):
        self.amount = amount

    def __repr__(self):
        return f'<Float {self.amount:.3f}>'

    @classmethod
    def from_sum(cls, value_1, value_2):
        return cls(value_1 + value_2)


class Dollar(Float):
    def __init__(self, amount):
        super().__init__(amount)
        self.symbol = '€'

    def __repr__(self):
        return f'<Euro {self.symbol}{self.amount:.2f}>'


print(Dollar.from_sum(1.34653, 2.49573))
