CS10 Python Programming Homework 4 40 points

Lists, Tuples, Sets, and Files

1. You must turn in your program listing and output for each program set. Start a new sheet or sheets of paper for each program set. Each program set must have your student name, student ID, and program set number/description. All the program sets must be printed and submitted together with your Exam 4. Once you complete your Exam 4 and leave the classroom you will not be able to submit Homework 4. Late homework will not be accepted for whatever reasons you may have.

******************************************************************************************************************************** for this homework, you are also to submit All Program Sets to Canvas under Homework 4 link ********************************************************************************************************************************

a. Name your file : PS1_firstinitial_lastname.py for Program Set 1. PS means program set b. You still have to submit the paper copy together with the rest of the Homework 4. c. You have till 11:59pm the night before the day of Exam 4 to submit all Program Sets to Canvas.

If the deadline is past, Program Sets will not be graded even if you submit the paper copy on time.

d. You must submit both hardcopy and upload the Program Sets to Canvas to be graded. If you only submit the hardcopy or only upload to Canvas you will receive a zero for the Program Sets. You must submit all the hardcopies of all Program Sets of Homework 4.

e. if you do not follow instructions on file naming provided in this section you will receive a zero for the whole of Homework 4.

2. You must STAPLE (not stapled assignments will not be graded resulting in a zero score) your programming

assignment and collate them accordingly. Example Program set 1 listing and then output, followed by Program Set 2 listing and output and so on.

3. Please format you output properly, for example all dollar amounts should be printed with 2 decimal places.

Make sure that your output values are correct (check the calculations). 4. Each student is expected to do their own work. IF IDENTICAL PROGRAMS ARE SUBMITTED, EACH

IDENTICAL PROGRAM WILL RECEIVE A SCORE OF ZERO. Grading: Each program set must run correctly syntactically, logically, and display the correct output as specified. If the program set does not run correctly, a zero will be given. For each Program set, if the program executes properly with proper syntax, logic, and displays the correct output, then points will be deducted for not having proper:

a. Comments (1 pt deducted for each occurrence) – Your name, description at the beginning of each program set. Short description of the what each section of your codes do.

b. Consistency/Readability (2 pts deducted for each occurrence) – Spacing(separate each section of codes with a blank line

– Indentation – Style (proper naming of variables no a,b,c – use descriptive and mnemonics) -each function must include type hints or annotations except for the main() -include docstrings for every function

c. Required elements (2 pts deducted for each occurrence) – Use tools that have been covered in class – proper formatting for output when specified – all monetary values must be in 2 decimal places

d. Output  if no output is provided for either the hardcopies or uploaded file, a zero will be given for

 

 

that program set.  Output must to be displayed at the end of the program listing(codes)  must use test cases when provided in the Program set question. Provide your own test

cases if the program set does not ask for any. The minimum test cases you provide on your own is 5 or more. If you provide less then 5 test cases per Program Set then that program set will receive a zero grade.

Program Set 1 (40 points) Write list functions for items a to j that carry out the following tasks for a list of integers.

a. Swap the first and last elements in the list. b. Shift all elements by one to the right and move the last element into the first position.

For example, 1 4 9 16 25 would be transformed into 25 1 4 9 16. c. Replace all even elements with 0 (zeroes) d. Replace each element except the first and last by the larger of its two neighbors. e. Remove the middle element if the list length is odd, or the middle two elements if the length is even. f. Move all even element to the front, otherwise preserving the order of the elements. g. Return the second largest element in the list. h. Return true if the list is currently sorted in increasing order. i. Return true if the list contains two adjacent duplicate elements. j. Return true if the list contains duplicate elements (which need not be adjacent).

The main() function to test each of the functions is included here for you. You must use the same function names that is provide for you below. Using other function names will result in a zero for this program. # Program to test functions a to j. # # Define constant variables. ONE_TEN = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] def main() : print(“The original data for all functions is: “, ONE_TEN) #a.

Software Reference Architecture Project

Instructions In this assignment you will create a Software Reference Architecture (SRA) document for a fictitious Information Technology department of a large government agency. Your SRA should include at least one software framework. You can assume that the data storage is part of software because it normally uses a database. Before beginning the project read Reference Architecture Description by the Office of the Assistant Security of Defense at http://dodcio.defense.gov/Portals/0/Documents/DIEA/Ref_Archi_Description_Fina l_v1_18Jun10.pdf This explains how to create a Reference Architecture document. This document was primarily created for Network Reference Architecture, but we are going to write a Software Reference Architecture. But we can still learn a lot from this document. Outline Please use the following sample outline, which is modified from Appendix A in Reference Architecture Description. Feel free to add sub-sections (ie x.x.x) if needed.

Software Reference Architecture Outline

1 Introduction

1.1 Overview 1.2 Scope 1.3 Key Authoritative Sources

2 Context

2.1 Guiding Principles 2.2 Constraints and Assumptions

2.2.1 Constraints 2.2.2 Assumptions

2.3 Alignment Priority Areas

3 Data

3.1 Storage 3.2 Data Integrity

 

 

3.3 Data Archiving

4 Software

4.1 Business Logic 4.2 User Interface

5 Technical Positions Additional Instructions In section 2.3 you need to align your architecture with the priorities of the organization. Consider these four guiding priorities.

1. Like most government agencies cost is a very important factor. Congress can increase or decrease you budget at any time. So, you have to build an architecture that has low maintenance and purchase costs.

2. All government agencies must comply with government regulations. One major one is the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) which provides government information to people that request it in a timely manor.

3. 508 is a regulation that requires systems to be handicap accessible. 4. Other government regulations prohibit certain types of information to be

stored about US citizen beyond a certain date. For example, this type of information can only be stored for 30 days for US citizens.

Hints This can be a very difficult project. Most organizations have a Software Reference Architecture but there is no real standard. Many organization don’t even have it documents or even call it a Software Reference Architecture. But by talking with them you can quickly realize that they have these standards. More mature organizations document their Software Reference Architecture, but there is no real standard format. Begin by thinking back across all of the courses you have taken. Try to develop a list of common problems that occur when building software. Depending upon the size of your list you might have to narrow it down to major issues. We have already discussed the benefits of everyone in an organization performing a task the same way. Next think of good solutions to these problems. In many organizations Non-functional Requirements are such solutions. Remember to write clearly. Rubric

1. Includes a software framework and the framework is used correctly. (25%) 2. Solve specific recurring problems in a problem space; explain context, goals,

purpose and problem solving. (25%)

 

 

3. Alignment with priorities. (25%) 4. Clearly written and free of spelling and grammar mistakes. (25%)

Use a search engine to find the names of five different cyber viruses.

Using WORD, write a short paragraph on each.

Use your own words and do not copy  the work of another student.

Attach your WORD document here.

Describe the difference between objects and values using the terms “equivalent” and “identical”. Illustrate the difference using your own examples with Python lists and the “is” operator.  

/in /by

PART 1

Describe the difference between objects and values using the terms “equivalent” and “identical”. Illustrate the difference using your own examples with Python lists and the “is” operator.

Describe the relationship between objects, references, and aliasing. Again, create your own examples with Python lists.

Finally, create your own example of a function that modifies a list passed in as an argument. Describe what your function does in terms of arguments, parameters, objects, and references.

Create your own unique examples for this assignment. Do not copy them from the textbook or any other source.

Part 2

Write a Python program that does the following.

· Create a string that is a long series of words separated by spaces. The string is your own creative choice. It can be names, favorite foods, animals, anything. Just make it up yourself. Do not copy the string from another source. 

· Turn the string into a list of words using split.

· Delete three words from the list, but delete each one using a different kind of Python operation.

· Sort the list.

· Add new words to the list (three or more) using three different kinds of Python operation.

· Turn the list of words back into a single string using join.

· Print the string.

 Part 3

Provide your own examples of the following using Python lists. Create your own examples. Do not copy them from another source. 

· Nested lists

· The “*” operator

· List slices

· The “+=” operator

· A list filter

· A list operation that is legal but does the “wrong” thing, not what the programmer expects

Provide the Python code and output for your program and all your examples.

Starting with the downloadable assignment files, write the Javascript needed for the application

/in /by

Starting with the downloadable assignment files, write the Javascript needed for the application. Use the book and lectures as a guide. In this exercise, you’ll develop an Image Gallery application that displays different images when the user clicks on the links at the top of the page. This works like the Image Swap application below.

1.  You’ll find the HTML, CSS, and image files for this application in the week 6 folder

You’ll also find an empty JavaScript file named image_gallery.js. You can add your code to this file. Customize the interface with your first and last names.

2.  In the JavaScript file, add an event handler for the ready() event method.

3.  Use the each() method to run a function for each <a> element in the unordered list of items. Then, add jQuery code that gets the URL and caption for each image and preloads the image. You can get the URL from the href attribute of the <a> element, and you can get the caption from the title attribute.

4.  Add an event handler for the click event of each link. The function for this event handler should accept a parameter named evt. The jQuery code for this event handler should display the image and caption for the link that was clicked. In addition, it should use the evt parameter to cancel the default action of the link.

5.  Add a jQuery statement that moves the focus to the first link on the page when the page is loaded.

Requirements and Policies

Academic Dishonesty Policy

As a Christian liberal arts university committed to the pursuit of truth and understanding, any act of academic dishonesty is especially distressing and cannot be tolerated. In general, academic dishonesty involves the abuse and misuse of information or people to gain an undeserved academic advantage or evaluation.

The common forms of academic dishonesty include:

1. cheating – using deception in the taking of tests or the preparation of written work, using unauthorized materials, copying another person’s work with or without consent, or assisting another in such activities;

2. lying – falsifying, fabricating, or forging information in either written or spoken presentations;

3. plagiarism – using the published writings, data, interpretations, or ideas of another without proper docu mentation.

4. multiple submissions – submitting the same academic written or oral work for which credit was previously received, without the approval of the instructor.

 

 

Episodes of academic dishonesty are reported as appropriate to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The potential penalty for academic dishonesty includes 1) a failing grade on a particular assignment, 2) a failing grade for the entire course, 3) suspension or expulsion, or (4) revocation of a degree.

Attendance Policy

Course enrollment and participation will be monitored and verified for all students during the first two weeks of classes. Lack of participation during this time may jeopardize enrollment status. Each student is expected to meet course expectations by completing the coursework required each week. Active participation and staying abreast of the material is essential to success. Program specific attendance policies may still apply.

Participation Policy

Students are expected to actively participate in intelligent discussion of assigned topics in all areas, such as: Discussion Board Activities, Synchronous Sessions, Forums, Shared Papers, etc.

Point adjustments will be taken for non-participation.

Course Evaluations

The course evaluation will be open during the last two weeks of the term. To access the evaluation (during that time), visit https://uofcumberlands.campuslabs.com/eval-home/ and log-in using your UC credentials. A reminder email notification will be sent when the evaluation is available.

We value your feedback. Every evaluation is confidential and anonymous. The anonymous results of the course evaluations are not available for faculty to see until after final grades are submitted. Your thoughtful responses guide future improvements for the course and programs.

Disability Accommodations

University of the Cumberlands accepts students with certified disabilities and provides reasonable accommodations for their certified needs in the classroom, in housing, in food service or in other areas. For accommodations to be awarded, a student must submit a completed Accommodations Application form and provide documentation of the disability to the Disability Services Coordinator (Shirley Stephens, Gatliff Administration Building, Room 114, accommodations@ucumberlands.edu). When all paperwork is on file, a meeting between the student and the Coordinator will be arranged to discuss possible accommodations before accommodations are formally approved. Students must then meet with the Coordinator at the beginning of each semester before any academic

 

 

accommodations can be certified for that term. Certifications for other accommodations are normally reviewed annually.

Academic Appeal

Both undergraduate and graduate students have the right to challenge a grade. If discussions with the course instructor and department chair do not lead to a satisfactory conclusion, students may file a formal written appeal with the Vice President for Academic Affairs, who will forward the appeal to the chair of the Academic Appeals Committee. This formal written appeal must be filed by the end of the 4th week of classes in the next regular term following the term in which the course in question was taken. The Academic Appeals Committee then gathers information from the student, the instructor, and any other relevant parties. The Committee will deliver its recommendation on the complaint to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. After reviewing this recommendation and concurring or amending it, the Vice President for Academic Affairs will inform the student and instructor of the disposition of the complaint no later than the last day of classes of the term in which the complaint was filed. Records of all actions regarding academic grade appeals, including their final disposition, are maintained by the Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Academic Appeals Committee. (Undergraduate Catalog/Graduate Catalog)

Student Responsibilities

Students should:

Use University of the Cumberlands email system for all academic, administrative, and co- curricular communication between faculty, staff and peers.

Check for email and class announcements using iLearn (primary) and University of the Cumberlands webmail (secondary) daily.

Demonstrate Cumberlands Character in and outside the classroom per the University Mission & Vision

Ensure you have consistent required technology for the course

Participate in courses regularly to:

Find announcements and updates

Complete assignments on time. Keep in mind that all deadlines use Eastern Standard Time (EST).

Engage in discussion

Connect with fellow students and faculty

Present written work in an academic and professional manner.

Take examinations on the designated dates and times. Students should make arrangements with faculty before the designated date for any needed accommodations.

 

 

Contact faculty or student success coordinator with questions or concerns.

Course Policies

1. The only authorized electronic means of academic, administrative, and co-curricular communication between University of the Cumberlands and its students is through the UCumberlands email system (i.e. Webmail). Each student is responsible for monitoring his/her University email account frequently. This is the primary email account used to correspond with you directly by the University; imperative program information is sent to this email account specifically from campus and program office.

2. Students should check for e-mail and class announcements using iLearn (primary) and University of the Cumberlands webmail (secondary).

3. Students are expected to find out class assignments for missed classes and make up missed work.

4. Students are expected to find out if any changes have been made in the class or assignment schedule.

5. Written work must be presented in a professional manner.

6. Work that is not submitted in a professional manner will not be evaluated and will be returned as unacceptable.

7. There is a craft to writing. Spelling, grammar, punctuation and diction (word usage) are all tools of that craft. Writing at the collegiate level will show careful attention to these elements of craft.

8. Work that does not exhibit care with regard to these elements will be considered as inadequate for college writing and graded accordingly.

9. Students are expected to take the examinations on the designated dates. If you are unable to take the exam on the scheduled date and know in advance, you are to make arrangements with your professor before the designated date. If you miss the exam, you must have a legitimate reason as determined by your professor.

Recognizing that a large part of professional life is meeting deadlines, it is necessary to develop time management and organizational skills. Failure to meet the course deadlines may result in penalties. Keep in mind that all deadlines are set using Eastern Standard Time (EST). Late assignments will NOT be accepted.

You will be taking in a file (payroll.txt) which details a number of departments (at least 1) and in each department are a set of employees (each department will have at least 1 employee or it would not appear on the payroll sheet). Your job is to read the file in separate out each employee and calculate the total values (hours, salary, number of employees) for each department and in each category (F1, F2, F3, F4). In your final submission please include the .cpp file which should work for any kind of payroll file I supply (which will naturally match the format of the examples below). Be sure to indicate in your submission file if you have attempted any of the bonus points .

 

An example file (note that your program needs to be able to handle any file formatted in a similar way):

The IT Department
Bill 8 hours 20 minutes 7hours 8hours 30 minutes 9hrs 10min 57 minutes F1
Betty 8hrs 8hrs 30min 7hrs 5min 8hrs 7hrs 10min F2
Brandon 10hours 10hours 5 minutes 9 hours 5 hours 55 minutes 9 hours 5 minutes F2
Brad 9hrs 8hrs 10hrs 12min 9hrs 4min 8hours 6min 3hrs 24min 1hr 6min F4

The Sales Department
Kyle $24,000 0.105 F3

First there is the name of the employee, followed by a list of times (for f1, f2 and f4). The times are reported by a number of different systems and the hours and minutes may be represented differently. Hours and hrs, or Minutes an mins. The final times should be rounded to the nearest half hour, where for example 2 hours and 15 minutes would be 2.5 hours. The times may specify the hours and minutes or just one or the other. And yes they could only work for a few minutes (maybe they only run into work to sign a paper or something). The last in the row after the hours comes the pay grade (F1, F2, F3, F4). The number of hours recorded is based on the pay grade of the employee. F1 and F2s will have 5 numbers for their hours. F3s a bit different since they are commission based where a sales amount and a commission percentage is given. F3s are also assumed to work 30 hours if their commission is 10% or below and 40 hours if their commission is above 10%. F4s will have 7 numbers (as they are on-call during the weekend). Each of the pay grades will also have different pay calculations which are as follows:

F1 = The total number of hours * 12.15
F2 = (The total number of hours – 35) * 18.95 + 500
F3 = The total sales amount * the commission rate
F4 = The first 5 hourly totals * 26.55 + Any weekend hourly totals (the last 2) * 39.75

Your output to the screen should start with the department name, followed by the total pay for all of the employees, then the total number of hours, and the total number of employees. After that you should have a breakdown of each category of employee: F1 total pay and total hours, F2 total pay and total hours…

Each department will have at least 1 employee and each department will contain the word “Department.”

Before coding your solution, take the time to design the program. What are the possible things that the file can have that you need to anticipate? What are the actions that you need to take (read the file, add up hours…)? Are those actions things that could be placed in separate functions? What about the function – can you guess some of the things that will happen? Such as, using substring to pull out part of a line in the file maybe using stoi to convert a string to an integer to add it to the total or creating variables to hold the employee type you find before passing it to another function. Finally, how are these functions called, what is the order and what information is passed to and from?

Scoring Breakdown

25% program compiles and runs
30% program reads in and calculates the figures for output
10% the program is appropriately commented
35% outputs the correct information in a clear format

5% bonus to those who can output the F# responses in a columned output like that shown above.
5% bonus to those who do a chart comparing the data at the end to show the relation between the pay grades and the amount of salary spent in each (they style of chart is up to you and more points may be given for more difficult charts (like a line chart):

 

B Department
F1 – 00000000
F2 – 000000
F3 – 00000
F4 – 000000000000

K Department
F1 – 0
F2 – 0000
F3 – 0000000000
F4 – 0000000
