-3. Now that we know how to precisely time how long it takes for Python to do something, measure how long it takes to look up 1,000, 10,000, and 100,000 random integer keys, and repeat each experiment 100 times.  Does the amount of time per key lookup change?

-4. The ABC module can be used to create so-called *virtual base classes*, similar to the `Simulator.py` file from day 4.  Look around you, and find two related objects.  Create a virtual base class by inheriting from the ABC module and using the `@abstractmethod` and `@property` decorators to define the shared methods and properties of the class, and non-abstract methods and properties which are the same for the two objects.

+```
+class Car(Vehicle):
+    
+    def __init__(self):
+        self._num_wheels = 4
+        
+    @property
+    def num_wheels(self):
+        return self._num_wheels
+    
+    def start(self):
+        print("Starting the car engine.")
+        
+class Bike(Vehicle):
+    
+    def __init__(self):
+        self._num_wheels = 2
+        
+    @property
+    def num_wheels(self):
+        return self._num_wheels
+    
+    def start(self):
+        print("Starting the bike engine.")
+```
+##### Answer:
+* In this example, `Vehicle` class is the virtual base class that defines the shared methods and properties of the `Car` and `Bike` classes. The `num_wheels` property and `start` method are abstract methods that must be implemented in the concrete classes. The `stop` method is a non-abstract method that is the same for both `Car` and `Bike` objects.
+
+* The `Car` and `Bike` classes inherit from `Vehicle` and define the non-abstract methods and properties that are specific to each object. The `num_wheels` property and `start` method are implemented differently in each class.
+##### Implementation:
+```
+obj_car=Car()
+obj_bike=Bike()
+
+print(obj_car.start())
+print(obj_bike.start())
+
+print(obj_car.num_wheels)
+print(obj_bike.num_wheels)
+
+print(obj_car.stop())
+print(obj_bike.stop())
+```
+###### Output:
+```
+Starting the car engine.
+None
+Starting the bike engine.
+None
+
+4
+2
+
+Stopping the vehicle.
+None
+Stopping the vehicle.
+None
