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.

# missing class goes here...

print( "\nPlease enter the information for the new cat:")

vac = vac in ['y', 'yes']
neut = input( "Neutered (Y/N)? " ).strip().lower()
neut = neut in ['y', 'yes' ]
breed= input( "Breed? " ).strip()

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. Make sure that it will generate the same output shown above if fed the same cat information.
Document your code well, including the main(), getNewCat() 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.
Problem #2: Of dogs and people...
(image from naturesmightypictures.blogspot.com)
Create a new program with the code below. Call it hw9_2.py.
# hw9_2start.py
# D. Thiebaut
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.

# 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

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

return self.tag
# changes the name-tag
def setNameTag( self, tag ):

# create a list of people, and their dog (if they own one)

# Display the list
for person in people:

else:

Your Assignment
- Without modifying any of the classes, make your program output
- the list of people who have unvaccinated dogs
- the list of people without dogs
- 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 (not vaccinated)
Debra, 30 years old has a non vaccinated dog called Rex
Millie, 25 years old has a non vaccinated dog called Maxi
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)
Store your program in a file called hw9_2.py and submit it to Moodle, in the HW9 PB2 section.
