===Draw method===

* Add a '''draw()''' method to your taxi.  It will call the draw() method of the super class (see how __init__() calls the __init__() constructor of the super class, and do the same for draw().  Your draw() method needs to call draw() of the super class to draw the body and wheels, and it needs to draw the self.label.

* Modify '''manyCars.py''' and add a taxi object, instantiated from your new Taxi class.  Mirror what you did with your first two cars, creating the taxi, setting its color to, say, "lightblue", drawing the taxi, and moving the taxi.

===Move method===
 +
* You will have noticed that the default '''move''' method from the GenericClass needs to be overloaded, because it does more the car and the wheels, but not the "TAXI" label.  Create a new move() method for your Taxi:
 +
<br />
 +
::<source lang="python">
 +
  def move( self ):
 +
      super().move()
 +
      self.label.move( self.dx, 0 )
 +
 +
</source>
 +
* Run '''manyCars.py''' again, and verify that your label now moves with the car.
 +
 +
===setFill method===
 +
* Make sure your manyCars.py program sets the color of your taxi to some color other than yellow.  You will have noticed that your taxi gets painted that color, and not the default yellow we'd like for all our taxis.  So you need to overload the '''setFill()''' method of '''Taxi''' so that it sets the color to "yellow," no matter what color the main program tries to set. 
 +
* You may also set the color of the taxi in the constructor, to be safe.
 +
* Run '''manyCars.py''' again, and verify that your taxi now is yellow and that its label move with the body.
 +
 +
<br />
 +
==Creating a second derived class: CarWithTop==
 +
<br />
 +
Using the same approach you did when you created your '''Taxi''' class, create a new class ''derived'' from '''GenericCar''', and call it '''CarWithTop'''.  This class will be used to create cars that have GenericCar as a super class, but that sport a top (see the pink car in the image at the top of this page).
 +
<br />
 +
* Go ahead and create the class '''CarWithTop''', with
 +
::* a constructor
 +
::* whatever other methods are required for the car to move nicely across the graphic window.
 +
* Add a new object of type CarWithTop to your '''manyCars.py''' module.
 +
* Verify that all cars are moving smoothly across the graphic window.
 +

=Problem 2: Aquarium=
 +
<br />
 +
* Point your browser to [[Fish_for_an_Aquarium|this page]] and drag the tank image and a couple fish images to your desktop.
 +
 +
* Write a new program called '''lab11_2.py''' and copy/paste the following code in it:
 +
<br />
 +
::<source lang="python">
 +
# lab11_2.py
 +
# Displays fish in an aquarium
 +
 +
from graphics import *
 +
import random
 +
 +
WIDTH  = 700  # geometry of the tank2.gif file
 +
HEIGHT = 517
 +
 +
       
 +
def main():
 +
    # open the window
 +
    win = GraphWin( "CSC Aquarium", WIDTH, HEIGHT )
 +
 +
    # display background image
 +
    background = Image( Point( WIDTH//2, HEIGHT//2 ), "tank2.gif" )
 +
    background.draw( win )
 +
 +
    # display the image of a fish at a random location
 +
    fish = Image( Point( random.randrange( WIDTH),
 +
                        random.randrange( HEIGHT) ),
 +
                  "fish0.gif" )
 +
    fish.draw( win )
 +
 +
    # close window when user clicks it
 +
    win.getMouse()
 +
    win.close()
 +
   
 +
main()
 +
 +
 +
 +
</source>
 +
 +
* Create a new class called '''Fish'''.
 +
* Include a '''constructor''' that received the name of the gif file for the fish.
 +
* Include a '''member variable''' in the class to hold the image (Image class in graphics.py) of the fish.
 +
* Add a '''draw()''' method to the class, that will allow the main program to have the fish draw itself on the graphic window (win).
 +
* Add a '''moveRandom()''' method to the class, that will move the image of the fish some random deltaX and deltaY on the graphic window.  Reminder: user <tt>random.randrange( 10 )</tt> to generate a random number between 0 and 10, and use <tt>random.randrange( -10, 0 )</tt> to generate a random number between -10 and 0 (not included).
 +
* Modify the main program so that it simply creates and displays a fish object, as shown below:
 +
<br />
 +
::<source lang="python">
 +
def main():
 +
    # open the window
 +
    win = GraphWin( "CSC Aquarium", WIDTH, HEIGHT )
 +
 +
    # display background
 +
    background = Image( Point( WIDTH//2, HEIGHT//2 ), "tank2.gif" )
 +
    background.draw( win )
 +
 +
    # display a fish
 +
    fish = Fish( "fish0.gif" )
 +
    fish.draw( win )
 +
 +
    win.getMouse()
 +
    win.close()
 +
 +
</source>
 +
<br />
 +
* When your code works, and only then, add a loop to make the fish move:
 +
<br />
 +
::<source lang="python">
 +
def main():
 +
    # open the window
 +
    win = GraphWin( "CSC Aquarium", WIDTH, HEIGHT )
 +
 +
    # display background
 +
    background = Image( Point( WIDTH//2, HEIGHT//2 ), "tank2.gif" )
 +
    background.draw( win )
 +
 +
    # display a fish
 +
    fish = Fish( "fish0.gif" )
 +
    fish.draw( win )
 +
 +
    # animation loop
 +
    while win.checkMouse() == None:
 +
        fish.moveRandom()
 +
 +
    win.getMouse()
 +
    win.close()
 +
 +
</source>
 +
 +
<br />
 +
* Modify the moveRandom() method so that the fish disappears from the graphics window, it is moved back on the other side of the aquarium.
 +
* Create a list of 10 fish with the "fish0.gif" image, and add 10 fish with the "fish20.gif" image (or some fish that is headed in the opposite direction).
 +
* Modify the Fish class so that you can define the direction a fish goes into when you create it. 
 +
* Verify that the fish swim in the correct direction.
 +
* Demonstrate your program to the lab instructor or a TA when you're done.
 +

=List of Lists=
 +
==Demonstration Example==
 +
<br />
 +
* Create a new new program called '''Lab11_demo.py''' and copy the code from this [[CSC111 List of Tuples Demo| program]][http://cs.smith.edu/dftwiki/index.php/CSC111_List_of_Tuples_Demo .]
 +
* Carefully read the program to see what it does, and how it does it.
 +
* Run the program to verify that it works well.
 +
* Edit the text variable, and make it contain only 5 lines of text (it doesn't matter what countries you pick).
 +
* Run your program again and verify that the "top-10" and "last-10" sections still work and do not crash, even though the list contains fewer than 10 tuples.
 +
* Using a similar approach, solve the next two problems.

=Problem 3: Animals=
 +
<br />
 +
The text below contains names of animals and their speed, expressed in miles per hour.  Write a Python program called '''Lab11_3.py''' (no need to write classes for this problem) based on the preparation problem above, and make your program output the following quantities:
 +
# The list of '''all''' the animals ranked by speed.  Fastest first.
 +
# The 10 fastest animals listed in order of decreasing speed
 +
# The 10 slowest animals listed in order of increasing speed
 +
# The ratio of the speeds of the fastest animal versus that of the slowest animal.  For example, if the speed of the fastest animal is 50 and the speed of the slowest is 2, then the program should output that the fastest animal is '''25 times''' faster than the slowest one.
 +
# The list of all the animals (just their name, not their speed) that are faster than a human being ("human" is one of the species listed).  Your program should not contain the number  27.9, which is the speed of a human.  Instead it should find this number by looking up "human" in one of your lists and get the speed associated for the human.

=Problem 4: Presidents=
 +
<br />
 +
Below is a CSV list (coma-separated values) of past presidents.  Using similar Python code as you have used for the previous problem, write a program ('''Lab11_4.py''') that will process this list and output:
 +
<br />
 +
# the list of all the presidents who were associated with the democratic party.
 +
# the person who was president in 1945.
 +
# the presidents whose home state was Massachusetts.
