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.
# hw9_1.py
# your name goes here
# and a description of the program
#
# missing class goes here...

def display( catList, caption ):
print( "\n\n"+caption )
print( "=" * len( caption ) )
for cat in catList:
print( cat )
def main():
#comments below are for debugging purpose
#text="""Minou, 3, Yes, Yes, stray
# Max, 1, Yes, No, Burmese
# Gizmo, 2, No, No, Bengal
# Garfield, 4, Yes, Yes, Orange Tabby"""
file = open( "cats1.csv", "r" )
text = file.read()
file.close()
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:" )
vaccinatedNeuteredCats = []
for cat in cats:
if cat.isVaccinated() and cat.isNeutered():
vaccinatedNeuteredCats.append( cat )
display( vaccinatedNeuteredCats, "Vaccinated and neutered cats:" )
if __name__=="__main__":
main()
Example cats1.csv File
Here is an example of the format of the csv file.
Minou, 3, Yes, Yes, stray Max, 1, Yes, No, Burmese Gizmo, 2, No, No, Bengal Garfield, 4, Yes, Yes, Orange Tabby
Corresponding 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)
Vaccinated and neutered cats:
=============================
Cat: Minou, age: 3, vaccinated, neutered (stray)
Cat: Garfield, age: 4, vaccinated, neutered (Orange Tabby)
- Question
Recreate the original program with its Cat class. You cannot modify the main program!. Make sure that your program with the reconstituted class generates the same output as the one shown above, when fed the same CSV file.
Document your code well, including the main(), and display() functions. Document the class using the same approach as in Part 2, below.
Store your program in a file called hw9_1.py and submit it to the Moodle HW9 PB1 section.
Testing
Your program will be tested using your Cat class, and the main() function shown in the code above. Whatever modification you bring to your main function will not be used. For this reason, make sure you do not modify the code of the main() function that is given to you.
Problem #2: Of dogs and people...
(image from naturesmightypictures.blogspot.com)
Preparation
For this assignment, you need to create a CSV file containing some information about people and dogs. Create a csv file called peopledog.csv in the same folder where you keep your python programs, and save the following lines in it:
Joe, 23, Fido, vaccinated Debra, 30, Rex, not vaccinated Frida, 10, Ralph, vaccinated Maria, 21, Gizmo, vaccinated Frank, 31, , Millie, 25, Maxi, not vaccinated
- The information above contains the name and age of people, and the name of their dog, as well as its vaccinated status, if they own a dog. If they do not own a dog, then their age is followed by two empty strings (see Frank above).
The Main Program
Create a new program with the code below. Call it hw9_2.py.
# hw9_2start.py # your name here # This program maintains 2 classes, one for a person # and the other for a dog. # A person object is defined by a name, an age, and a dog. # If a person does not own a dog, then that person's dog field is set to None. # A dog is defined by a tag (its name) and a boolean indicating if it is # vaccinated or not. # The main program outputs various lists of people. # class Person: # a class containing 4 private member variables: # - name of the person (string) # - age (integer) # - gpa (float) # - major (string, uppercase) # 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, dg ): self.name = n self.age = a self.dog = dg def getDog( self ): return self.dog # returns a string with the name and age. def __str__( self ): return "{0:1}, {1:1} years old".format( self.name, self.age ) # returns the name def getName( self ): return self.name # set the age to a new value x def setAge( self, x ): self.age = x # returns the age of the person def getAge( self ): return self.age class Dog: # a class containing 2 private member variables: # - name-tag of the dog (string) # - whether the dog is vaccinated or not (boolean) # methods: # isVaccinated(): returns True if the dog is vaccinated, False otherwise # getName(): returns the name-tag of the dog # setName(x): sets the name-tag of the dog # constructor def __init__( self, tag, vaccinated ): self.tag = tag self.vaccinated = vaccinated # default string representation for the dog def __str__( self ): if self.vaccinated==True: return "{0:1} (vaccinated)".format( self.tag ) return "{0:1} (not vaccinated)".format( self.tag ) # isVaccinated: returns True if the dog is vaccinated, False otherwise def isVaccinated( self ): return self.vaccinated # returns the name of the dog def getNameTag( self ): return self.tag # changes the name-tag def setNameTag( self, tag ): self.tag = tag # readCSVFile. Reads the contents of a CSV file and return # a list of strings containing all the lines. def readCSVFile( fileName ): file = open( fileName, "r" ) lines = file.readlines() file.close() return lines # ================================================ # main # ================================================ def main(): # get the contents of the file lines = readCSVFile( "peopledog.csv" ) # create a list of people, and their dog (if they own one) people = [] # parse the text and add it as people-dog pairs in the list for line in lines: # reject lines that are not formatted correctly if len( line.split(',') ) != 4: continue # parse line name, age, tag, vacc = line.split(',') name = name.strip() age = int( age.strip() ) tag = tag.strip() vacc = "not" not in vacc.lower() if len( tag )==0: p = Person(name, age, None ) else: p = Person(name, age, Dog( tag, vacc ) ) # add this new person to the list people.append( p ) # Display the list for person in people: if person.getDog() != None: print( person, ", has a dog: ", person.getDog(), sep="" ) else: print( person, ", does not have a dog", sep="" ) main()
- Run the program. Verify that it outputs a list of people and dogs, nicely formatted.
Your Assignment
- Modify the main program only (not the classes), so that your new program will output:
- the list of people who have unvaccinated dogs
- the list of people without dogs
- the oldest person who has a dog, and if nobody has a dog, just a sentence that indicates that nobody has a dog.
- Your output should match exactly the output of the solution program, so play close attention to the formatting of your output.
- The output of the solution program for three different csv files are shown in the section below.
Store your program in a file called hw9_2.py and submit it to Moodle, in the HW9 PB2 section.
Example Outputs for Different CSV Files (added 4/4/15)
