--D. Thiebaut (talk) 11:50, 1 November 2015 (EST)


Reminder:

  • Work in pairs.
  • Each person in the pair submits a copy of the program to be submitted.

The deadline for this lab is Friday 11/6/15 at 11:55 p.m.




<showafterdate after="20151104 12:00" before="20151231 00:00"-->

Exceptions


Part 1: Preparation


  • Create a new program called lab9_1.py, and copy this code to the new Idle window.


# lab9_1.py
# Your name here

# getInput: returns an integer larger
# than 0.  Expected to be robust
def getInput():
   
   while  True:
      x = int( input( "Enter an integer greater than 0: " ) )
      if x <= 0:
         print( "Invalid entry.  Try again!" )
      else:   
         return x

def main():
   num = getInput()
   print( "You have entered", num )

main()
  • Test it with numbers such as -3, -10, 0, 5. Verify that the input function works well when you enter numbers.
  • Test your program again, and this time enter expressions such as "6.3", or "hello" (without the quotes).
  • Make a note of the Error reported by Python:


Lab9Exception1.png


  • Modify your function and add the highlighted code below by hand. This code will catch the ValueError exception.


# getInput: returns an integer larger
# than 0.  Catches Value errors
def getInput():
    
   # repeat forever...
   while  True:

      # try to get an int
      try:
          x = int( input( "Enter an integer greater than 0: " ) )
      except ValueError:
          # the user must have entered something other than an int
          print( "Invalid entry.  Not an integer.  Try again!" )
          continue

      # No errors caught.  See if the number is negative
      if x <= 0:
         print( "You entered a negative number.  Try again!" )
      else:   
         # finally, we can return x as it is an int that is >0
         return x


  • Run your program and try different invalid inputs, such as strings or floats. You can also try just pressing the Return key, indicating that you are not providing anything to the input function. Verify that your program catches all these invalid entries and does not crash.


Review Class Example


  • Below is an example we saw in class, and that is taken from Zelle. It illustrates how we can guard some code against several types of errors. Review it. You will need to follow this example for the next set of exercises.


def ZelleExample():
    import math
    print( "solution to quadratic equation" )
    try:
        a, b, c = eval( input( "enter 3 coefficients (a,b,c) " ) )
        disc = math.sqrt( b*b - 4*a*c )
        root1 = (-b + disc )/ (2*a)
        root2 = (+b + disc )/ (2*a)
        print( "solutions: ", root1, root2 )
    except NameError:
        print( "You didn't enter 3 numbers" )
    except TypeError:
        print( "Your inputs were not all numbers" )
    except SyntaxError:
        print( "Forgot commas between the numbers?" )
    except ValueError:
        print( "No real roots, negative discriminant" )
    except:
        print( "Something went wrong..." )


Part 2: Exercise


  • Create a new program called lab9_2.py with the code below:


def example1():
    for i in range( 3 ):
        x = int( input( "enter an integer: " ) )
        y = int( input( "enter another integer: " ) )
        print( x, '/', y, '=', x/y )

def example2( L ):
    print( "\n\nExample 2" )
    sum = 0
    for i in range( len( L ) ):
        sum +=  L[i]

    print( "sum of items in ", L, "=", sum )


def printUpperFile( fileName ):
   file = open( fileName, "r" )
   for line in file:
       print( line.upper() )
   file.close()

def createTextFile( fileName ):
   file = open( fileName, "w" )
   file.write( "Welcome\nto\nCSC111\nIntroduction\nto\nComp.\nSci.\n" )
   file.close()

def main():
    # create a text file for use later...
    createTextFile( "csc111.txt" )

    # test first function
    example1()

    # test second function
    L = [ 10, 3, 5, 6, 9, 3 ]
    example2( L )
    #example2( [ 10, 3, 5, 6, "NA", 3 ] )

    # test third function 
    fileName = input( "Enter name of file to display (type csc111.txt): " )
    printUpperFile( fileName )

main()



  • The program above has many flaws; it is not very robust. We can easily make it crash.
  • Observe each function. Run your program a few times.
  • Figure out how to make each function crash
  • Go ahead and start forcing the first function to crash. Register the XXXXError that is generated. For example, if the output of the crash looks like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/thiebaut/Desktop/except0.py", line 29, in <module>
main()
File "/Users/thiebaut/Desktop/except0.py", line 27, in main
example3( [ 10, 3, 5, 6 ] )
File "/Users/thiebaut/Desktop/except0.py", line 18, in example3
sum = sum + L[i]
IndexError: list index out of range

what you are interested in is IndexError. This is the exception you want to guard your code against.


  try:
      ........
      ........
  except IndexError:
      .........


  • Add the try/except statement inside the function, and verify that your function is now more robust and does not crash on the same input that made it crash before.


  • Repeat the same process for the other functions.


Classes and Objects


Cats

Cats.jpg


Below is the program we saw in class, where we create a Cat class, where each cat is defined by a name, a breed, whether it is vaccinated or not, and and age.

# cats1.py
# D. Thiebaut
# Program for Week #9
# Define a Cat class, and
# use it to create a collection of
# cats.


class Cat:
    """a class that implements a cat and its
    information.  Name, breed, vaccinated,
    tattooed, and age."""

    def __init__( self, na, brd, vacc, ag ):
        """constructor.  Builds a cat with all its information"""
        self.name       = na
        self.breed      = brd
        self.vaccinated = vacc
        self.age        = ag

    def isVaccinated( self ):
        """returns True if cat is vaccinated, False otherwise"""
        return self.vaccinated

    def getAge( self ):
        """returns cat's age"""
        return self.age

    def getName( self ):
        """returns name of cat"""
        return self.name

    def __str__( self ):
        """default string representation of cat"""
        vacc = "vaccinated"
        if not self.vaccinated:
            vacc = "not vaccinated"
        
        return "{0:20}:==> {1:1}, {2:1}, {3:1} yrs old".format(
            self.name, self.breed, vacc, self.age )
    
def main():
    """ main program.  Creates a list of cats and displays
    groups sharing the same property.
        Minou, 3, vac, stray
        Max, 1, not-vac, Burmese

        Garfield, 4, not-vac, Orange Tabby
    """
    cats = []
    cat = Cat( "Minou", "stray", True, 3 )
    cats.append( cat )
    
    cats.append( Cat( "Max", "Burmese", False, 1 ) )
    cats.append( Cat( "Gizmo", "Bengal", True, 2 ) )
    cats.append( Cat( "Garfield", "Orange Tabby", False, 4 ) )

    # print the list of all the cats
    print( "\nComplete List:" )
    for cat in cats:
        print( cat )

   


main()


  • Recreate this code in a program called Lab9_2.py
  • Run it.
  • Add a loop to your main program that outputs only the cats that are not vaccinated, and only those.
  • Example of what your output should look like:


Complete List:
Minou               :==> stray, vaccinated, 3 yrs old
Max                 :==> Burmese, not vaccinated, 1 yrs old
Gizmo               :==> Bengal, vaccinated, 2 yrs old
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, 4 yrs old

Non-vaccinated cats:
Max                 :==> Burmese, not vaccinated, 1 yrs old
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, 4 yrs old



Challenge #0: getBreed() method

QuestionMark3.jpg


  • Add a new method to your Cat class that returns the breed of a cat. You may want to call it getBreed(). Add a new loop to your main program, such that it uses the new method on each cat and prints only the stray cats.
  • Example of what your output should look like:


Complete List:
Minou               :==> stray, vaccinated, 3 yrs old
Max                 :==> Burmese, not vaccinated, 1 yrs old
Gizmo               :==> Bengal, vaccinated, 2 yrs old
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, 4 yrs old

Non-vaccinated cats:
Max                 :==> Burmese, not vaccinated, 1 yrs old
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, 4 yrs old

Stray cats:
Minou               :==> stray, vaccinated, 3 yrs old
  • Add another loop to your main function, once more, and make it output the Non-vaccinated cats 2 or older.
  • Example of what your output should look like:


Complete List:
Minou               :==> stray, vaccinated, tattooed, 3 yrs old
Max                 :==> Burmese, not vaccinated, tattooed, 1 yrs old
Gizmo               :==> Bengal, vaccinated, tattooed, 2 yrs old
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 4 yrs old

Non-vaccinated cats:
Max                 :==> Burmese, not vaccinated, tattooed, 1 yrs old
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 4 yrs old

Stray cats:
Minou               :==> stray, vaccinated, tattooed, 3 yrs old

Non-vaccinated cats 2 or older
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 4 yrs old



Challenge #1: Tattooed Cats

QuestionMark5.jpg


  • Assume that we now want to keep track of whether cats are tattooed or not. A tattoo is a good way to mark cats so that they can be easily identified if lost.
  • Add a new boolean field to the class for the tattooed status. True will mean tattooed, False, not tattooed.
  • Modify the constructor so that we can pass the tattooed status along with all the other information
  • Add a method to Cat, called isTattooed(), that will allow us to test if a cat is tattooed or not.
  • Modify your main program so that the tattoo status is included when each cat object is created. You may want to use this new list of cats:
Minou, 3, vaccinated, tattooed, stray
Max, 1, not vaccinated, tattooed, Burmese
Gizmo, 2, vaccinated, tattooed, Bengal
Garfield, 4, not vaccinated, not tattooed, Orange Tabby


  • Modify the __str__() method so that it includes the tattoo information in the returned string.
  • Example of what __str__() will print:


Minou               :==> stray, vaccinated, tattooed, 3 yrs old


  • Run your main program again. It should output the same information as before, but this time the tattoo information will also appear when a cat is listed.
  • Add a new 'Non-tattooed cat loop to your main program that will output all the cats that are not tattooed.
  • Example of output:
Complete List:
Minou               :==> stray, vaccinated, tattooed, 3 yrs old
Max                 :==> Burmese, not vaccinated, tattooed, 1 yrs old
Gizmo               :==> Bengal, vaccinated, tattooed, 2 yrs old
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 4 yrs old

Non-vaccinated cats:
Max                 :==> Burmese, not vaccinated, tattooed, 1 yrs old
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 4 yrs old

Stray cats:
Minou               :==> stray, vaccinated, tattooed, 3 yrs old

Non-vaccinated cats 2 or older:
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 4 yrs old

Non-tattooed cats:
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 4 yrs old





Challenge #2: Vaccinated and Tattooed Cats

QuestionMark6.jpg


  • Make the main program display all the cats that are vaccinated and tattooed.
  • Example of output:
omplete List:
Minou               :==> stray, vaccinated, tattooed, 3 yrs old
Max                 :==> Burmese, not vaccinated, tattooed, 1 yrs old
Gizmo               :==> Bengal, vaccinated, tattooed, 2 yrs old
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 4 yrs old

Non-vaccinated cats:
Max                 :==> Burmese, not vaccinated, tattooed, 1 yrs old
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 4 yrs old

Stray cats:
Minou               :==> stray, vaccinated, tattooed, 3 yrs old

Non-vaccinated cats 2 or older:
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 4 yrs old

Non-tattooed cats:
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 4 yrs old

Vaccinated and tattooed cats:
Minou               :==> stray, vaccinated, tattooed, 3 yrs old

Challenge #3: Reading the Cat information from a CSV file

QuestionMark7.jpg


  • Create the short program below and name it createCatCSV.py.


# createCatCSV.py
# D. Thiebaut
# save several cat definitions into a CSV file.

def createCatCSV( fileName ):
    file = open( fileName, "w" )
    file.write( """Minou, 3, vaccinated, tattooed, stray
Max, 1, not vaccinated, tattooed, Burmese
Gizmo, 2, vaccinated, tattooed, Bengal
Garfield, 4, not vaccinated, not tattooed, Orange Tabby
Silky, 3, vaccinated, tattooed, Siamese
Winston, 1, not vaccinated, not tattooed, stray\n""" )
    file.close()


def main():
    createCatCSV( "cats.csv" )

main()


  • Run the program once. Verify that it will have created a new file in the same folder/directory where your program resides. Verify (using Notepad or TextEdit) that this file contains a collection of lines, each representing a cat.


  • Now, play with the program below:


# Lab9CatsCSV.py
# D. Thiebaut
# Seed for a program that reads cat data from
# a CSV file.


def main():
    # set the name of the csv file containing the list of cats
    fileName = input( "File name? " ) # user enters "cats.csv"

    # open a csv file
    file = open( fileName, "r" )

    # process each line of the file
    for line in file:

        # split the line at the commas
        words = line.strip().split( ", " )
        
        # skip lines that do not have 5 fields
        if len( words ) != 5:
            continue

        # print the fields
        for i in range( len( words ) ):
            print( "words[",i,"]=", words[i].strip(), end=", " )
        print()

main()


  • It reads a file containing several lines where information is separated by commas, and breaks each line into words.
  • It is all you need to make your "cat" program read the cat information from a file, rather than from the same old string.
  • Merge this program (by putting it into a function, for example), with the one you wrote for Challenge #2, and make your program read the cats from a CSV file.
  • This means that your program must
  1. extract each cat from a line of the file,
  2. transform the string "vaccinated" in True, and "not vaccinated" in False (it's simpler than you think!)
  3. transform the string "tattooed" in True, and "not tattooed" in False (same comment),
  4. transform the string containing the age into an int,
  5. and store all this information into a Cat object. All the cats should be added to a list.
  • Verify that your program outputs the correct lists of cats (vaccinated, 2 and older, vaccinated and tattooed, etc.)
  • Example of output:


omplete List:
Minou               :==> stray, vaccinated, tattooed, 3 yrs old
Max                 :==> Burmese, not vaccinated, tattooed, 1 yrs old
Gizmo               :==> Bengal, vaccinated, tattooed, 2 yrs old
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 4 yrs old
Silky               :==> Siamese, vaccinated, tattooed, 3 yrs old
Winston             :==> stray, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 1 yrs old

Non-vaccinated cats:
Max                 :==> Burmese, not vaccinated, tattooed, 1 yrs old
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 4 yrs old
Winston             :==> stray, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 1 yrs old

Stray cats:
Minou               :==> stray, vaccinated, tattooed, 3 yrs old
Winston             :==> stray, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 1 yrs old

Non-vaccinated cats 2 or older:
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 4 yrs old

Non-tattooed cats:
Garfield            :==> Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 4 yrs old
Winston             :==> stray, not vaccinated, not tattooed, 1 yrs old

Vaccinated and tattooed cats:
Minou               :==> stray, vaccinated, tattooed, 3 yrs old
Gizmo               :==> Bengal, vaccinated, tattooed, 2 yrs old
Silky               :==> Siamese, vaccinated, tattooed, 3 yrs old


Moodle Submission


Take the final program you wrote for Part 2 of this lab, and make it get the name of a file from the user (who will enter cats.csv at the prompt), and output only the cats that are not vaccinated, and 2 years or older. Your program should not output any other information, otherwise the Moodle test program will assume your output is incorrect. Your program should do its work by using a list of Cat objects instantiated from a class called Cat.

Make sure your program prints a blank line after getting the name of the file from the user! This blank line is used by Moodle to test the output. If you forget this blank line, Moodle will skip the first line of your program's output, and will think you have missed something!


Example


  • If the file cats.csv contains the following information:


Max, 1, vaccinated, not tattooed, stay
Black, 3, not vaccinated, tattooed, stray
Gizmo, 2, vaccinated, not tattooed, Bengal
Winston, 2, vaccinated, tattooed, Bengal
Garfield, 3, vaccinated, not tattooed, Burmese
Bob, 4, not vaccinated, tattooed, Orange Tabby
Minou, 1, vaccinated, tattooed, stray
Silky, 3, not vaccinated, tattooed, Siamese


  • Then your program output should be exactly this:


Black, stray, not vaccinated, tattooed, 3 yrs old
Bob, Orange Tabby, not vaccinated, tattooed, 4 yrs old
Silky, Siamese, not vaccinated, tattooed, 3 yrs old


Note the "yr(s) old" suffix on each line. We know how to test for singular or plural, but for this lab we'll take a shortcut and simply output "yr(s)".
