Talk to English Connect: https://www.monash.edu/english-connect 2.2. Study skills If you feel like you just don’t have enough time to do everything you need to, maybe you just need a new approach Talk to a learning skills advisor: https://www.monash.edu/library/skills/contacts 2.3. Things are tough right now Everyone needs to talk to someone at some point in their life, no judgement here. Talk to a counsellor: https://www.monash.edu/health/counselling/appointments (friendly, approachable, confidential, free) 2.4. Things in the unit don’t make sense Even if you’re not quite sure what to ask about, if you’re not sure you won’t be alone, it’s always better to ask. Ask in Ed: https://lms.monash.edu/course/view.php?id=78169§ion=4 Attend a consultation: https://lms.monash.edu/course/view.php?id=78169#section-3 Email your tutor: https://lms.monash.edu/course/view.php?id=78169§ion=1 2.5. I don’t know what I need Everyone at Monash University is here to help you. If things are tough now they won’t magically get better by themselves. Even if you don’t exactly know, come and talk with us and we’ll figure it out. We can either help you ourselves or at least point you in the right direction. © 2020, Monash University 3. Key tasks (100 marks) This assignment is broken into five parts. Each part is attempting to assess a particular aspect of programming. Read each section carefully and attempt to solve them using the techniques we have explored during the unit (Week 1 - 6). 3.1. Fake Passport (10 marks) Write a function with the signature generate_passport(). This function asks the user to input their name, their Date of Birth (formatted as DD/MM/YY), and their country of origin. The function will then generate a passport string. More details for the task is provided below: Function name generate_passport() Inputs USER INPUT: name – the user’s name country – their country of birth date of birth – their birth date (formatted as DD/MM/YY) Output PRINT: a string as per sample behaviour containing Passport name, country and passport ID number FILE OUTPUT: None Details Create the passport ID using the following format: [Month] [Year] [Day] [Day + Month] e.g. for 17/06/91 it would be [06] [91] [17] [17+6 = 23] which becomes 06911723 Sample behaviour Validation Required (Note: Try to do as many validation as you can think of, © 2020, Monash University of user input but make sure when teaching staff checks it should not give an error.) 3.2. Common Statistics (15 marks) Write a function with the signature statistics(numbers) where numbers is a list of numbers (e.g. [11,14,91,0,3]). Each number may be a oat or integer. Calculate the mean, median, mode, and range for these numbers. More details are provided below: Function name statistics(numbers) Inputs ARGUMENTS: numbers – a list of numbers (e.g. [11,14.2,91,0,3]) floats and integers allowed Output RETURN VALUE: a list in the order of [mean, median, mode range] Details Calculate the: mean – the sum of all the items divided by the number of numbers median – the middle-most number in the sorted version of the list if there is no middle element, use the average of the 2 middle elements mode – the most common number in the list range – the difference between the smallest and largest number in the list of the list named “numbers” Sample behaviour >>> statistics([1,1,1,2,3,2,1,4,5,6]) [2.6,2,1,5] Validation of user input Required (Note: Try to do as many validation as you can think of, but make sure when teaching staff checks it should not give an error.) 3.3 Batch statistics (20 Marks) Write a function with signature batch_statistics(filename) where filename is the name of a file in the directory of your Python script. Each line in the file is a list of numbers © 2020, Monash University that you must pass to the function written in section 3.2 (statistics(numbers)). The output of running statistics(numbers) should be written to a file called "output.txt" where filename is the input to this function. More details are provided below. Function name batch_statistics(filename) Inputs ARGUMENTS: filename – the name of a file in your python directory each line in ‘filename’ represents a list of numbers Output FILE OUTPUT: results of batch_statistics – one line per result Details 1. Call on the statistics function for each line in ‘filename’ 2. Write the output of statistics to the corresponding line in the output file Sample behaviour Demo Input File Demo Output File Validation of user input Required (Note: Try to do as many validation as you can think of, but make sure when teaching staff checks it should not give an error.) 3.4. Valid Sandwich (25 marks) Sandwiches are serious business. Write a function with signature validate_sandwich (sandwich). There are three types of bread: white, rye, and pumpernickel. For a sandwich to be valid, it must have two pieces of the same type of bread and not be obstructed by unpaired pieces of bread. Every sandwich must have a buttered piece of bread, and an un-buttered piece of bread. The buttered piece must be on top and un- buttered at bottom. More details are provided below: Function name validate_sandwich(sandwich) Inputs ARGUMENTS: sandwich – a string of letters representing a sandwich Output RETURN VALUE: True/False – True if valid, False otherwise © 2020, Monash University Details For a sandwich to be valid, it must have two pieces of the same type of bread not be interrupted by unpaired pieces of bread one piece of bread must be buttered and another un-buttered buttered bread must be on top Types of bread ‘w’ – white bread ‘r’ – rye bread ‘p’ – pumpernickel Butter state ‘b’ next to a bread type (i.e. bw, br, bp) is buttered ‘n’ next to a bread type (i.e. nw, nr, np) is not buttered Sample behaviour 1. Input: validate_sandwich(“bw nw”) Result: TRUE Reason: valid -- the classic white 2. Input: validate_sandwich(“bw br nw”) Result: FALSE Reason: invalid – the rye bread does not have a pair 3. Input: validate_sandwich(“bw br nr nw”) Result: TRUE Reason: valid – a sandwich inside a sandwich. 4. Input: validate_sandwich(“bw np”) Result: FALSE Reason: invalid -- the white and pumpernickel do not match Validation of user input Required. As part of function, sandwiches are always lower case, and space-separated. (Note: Try to do as many validation as you can think of, but make sure when teaching staff checks it should not give an error.) 3.5. Contact Book (30 marks) Write at-least 3 function with signature AddData(), DeleteData(), and ViewData(). All the function should be done on file called “contactBook.txt”, which can be created beforehand. All the operation, that are carried out should reflect in the text file. More details are provided below: Function name AddData(filename) DeleteData(ID, filename) © 2020, Monash University ViewData(filename) Inputs USER INPUT: Main menu o Choice – the option chosen by the user to move through the menu AddData: o First Name – the given name of the contact to add o Last Name – the family name of the contact to add o Phone number – the phone number of the contact to add No more than 10 digits Must follow Australian mobile number format (04xxxxxxxx) o Email address – the email address of the contact to add Should follow standard email format. ARGUMENTS: AddData: o filename – the file to write to DeleteData: o ID – the unique ID for the contact to delete o filename – the file to update ViewData: o filename – the file to read from Output PRINT: Main menu o Print the options available to the user at any point ViewData o Print the entire contents of the contacts list (see sample behaviour) FILE OUTPUT: AddData o Writes the new contact details as a line in “contactBook.txt” DeleteData o Rewrite/update “contactBook.txt” to remove the deleted contact Details 1. Main menu Show options for the user to choose from Validate their choice Run the option chosen Continue running the menu unless the user chooses to quit 2. AddData © 2020, Monash University Get the first name, last name, phone number and email address from the user Generate a unique ID Write the data to the file 3. DeleteData Access the file Find the line for the contact with a matching ID Remove that contact from the file 4. ViewData Load up the file Print each record in the file to the screen Sample behaviour Main menu ViewData Validation of user input The main menu should request input again if given an invalid choice and should only exit when exit is selected Phone number must meet requirements Email address need to be verified (Note: Try to do as many validation as you can think of, but make © 2020, Monash University sure when teaching staff checks it should not give an error.) © 2020, Monash University
