Problem #1: Lost Cat

(image from nicepixy.net)

The program below is missing its class! And it is also missing its documentation! It used to contain a class defined, with methods and member variables, and a fully developped documentation, but unfortunately all of them got erased.

We do have the output of a run of the program, though, when it still had its class definition. Both the incomplete code and the output are shown below.

def getNewCat():
    print( "\nPlease enter the information for the new cat:")
    name = input(       "Cat name?         " )
    age  = int( input(  "Age, in years?    " ) )
    vac  = input(       "Vaccinated (Y/N)? " ).strip().lower()
    vac  = vac in ['y', 'yes']
    neut = input(       "Neutered (Y/N)?   " ).strip().lower()
    neut = neut in ['y', 'yes' ]
    breed= input(       "Breed?            " ).strip()
    
    return Cat( name, age, vac, neut, breed )

def display( L, caption ):
    print( "\n\n"+caption )
    print( "=" * len( caption ) )
    for cat in L:
        print( cat )

def main():
    text="""Minou, 3, Yes, Yes, stray
            Max, 1, Yes, No, Burmese
            Gizmo, 2, No, No, Bengal
            Garfield, 4, Yes, Yes, Orange Tabby"""

    for line in text.split( "\n" ):
        words = line.strip().split( "," )
        if len( words ) != 5:
            continue
        name, age, vaccinated, neutered, breed = words
        age = int( age.strip() )
        if vaccinated.strip().lower() == "yes":
            vaccinated = True
        else:
            vaccinated = False

        neutered = neutered.strip().lower() == "yes":
        
        cat = Cat( name.strip(), age, vaccinated, neutered, breed.strip() )
        try:
            cats.append( cat )
        except NameError:
            cats = []
            cats.append( cat )

    display( cats, "List of cats:" )

    cats.append( getNewCat() )

    display( cats, "List of cats with new addition:" )

    vaccinatedNeuteredCats = []
    for cat in cats:
        if cat.isVaccinated() and cat.isNeutered():
            vaccinatedNeuteredCats.append( cat )

    display( vaccinatedNeuteredCats, "Vaccinated and neutered cats:" )
    
    
main()

Output

List of cats:
=============
Cat: Minou, age: 3, vaccinated, neutered (stray)
Cat: Max, age: 1, vaccinated, not neutered (Burmese)
Cat: Gizmo, age: 2, not vaccinated, not neutered (Bengal)
Cat: Garfield, age: 4, vaccinated, neutered (Orange Tabby)

Please enter the information for the new cat:
Cat name?         Ralph
Age, in years?    4
Vaccinated (Y/N)? y
Neutered (Y/N)?   y
Breed?            Angora


List of cats with new addition:
===============================
Cat: Minou, age: 3, vaccinated, neutered (stray)
Cat: Max, age: 1, vaccinated, not neutered (Burmese)
Cat: Gizmo, age: 2, not vaccinated, not neutered (Bengal)
Cat: Garfield, age: 4, vaccinated, neutered (Orange Tabby)
Cat: Ralph, age: 4, vaccinated, neutered (Angora)


Vaccinated and neutered cats:
=============================
Cat: Minou, age: 3, vaccinated, neutered (stray)
Cat: Garfield, age: 4, vaccinated, neutered (Orange Tabby)
Cat: Ralph, age: 4, vaccinated, neutered (Angora)

Question

Recreate the original program with its Cat class. Make sure that it will generate the same output show above if fed the same cat information.

Document your code well, including the main and getNewCat functions. Document the class using the same approach as in this file: Planets.py.
Store your program in a file called hw10a.py and submit it here.

Problem #2

Create a new program with the code below. Call it hw10b.py.

#

    # methods:
    # getName(): returns the name of the person (string)
    # getAge(): returns the age of the person (int)
    # setAge(x): sets the age of the person to x (int)

    # constructor: intializes a person with all fields
    def __init__(self, n, a ):
        self._name = n
        self._age  = a

    # returns a string with the name and age.

    # a class containing 2 private member variables:

Your Assignment

• Without modifying any of the classes, make your program output
  1. the list of people who have unvaccinated dogs
  2. the list of people without dogs
  3. the oldest person who has a dog

An example of the output of the solution program is shown below:

Joe, 23 years old has a dog:  Fido (vaccinated)
Debra, 30 years old has a dog:  Rex (not vaccinated)
Frida, 10 years old has a dog:  Ralph (vaccinated)
Maria, 21 years old has a dog:  Gizmo (vaccinated)
Frank, 31 years old does not have a dog
Millie, 25 years old has a dog:  Maxi (vaccinated)

Debra, 30 years old has a non vaccinated dog called Rex

Frank, 31 years old doesn't have a dog

The oldest person to own a dog is Debra, 30 years old and the dog is Rex (not vaccinated)
