Lab 13: Program 5 Debugging

Logistics

• Due: Tuesday, November 28th no later than 11:59 p.m.
• Partner Information: You may complete this assignment individually or with exactly one partner. If you work with a partner, you must both be enrolled in the same lab section. (Otherwise, you and your partner will receive no credit.)
• Submission Instructions (working alone): Upload your solution, entitled YourFirstName-YourLastName-Lab13.py to the BrightSpace Lab 13 Dropbox.
• Submission Instructions (working with one lab mate): Upload your solution, renamed to YourFirstName-YourLastName-PartnerFirstName-PartnerLastName-Lab13.py to the BrightSpace Lab 13 Dropbox. Note: If you work with a partner, only one person needs to submit a solution. If you both submit a solution, the submission that will be graded is the one from the partner whose last name comes alphabetically first.
• Deadline Reminder: Once this deadline passes, BrightSpace will no longer accept your submission and you will no longer be able to earn credit. Thus, if you are not able to fully complete the assignment, submit whatever you have before the deadline so that partial credit can be earned.

Learning Outcomes

• Gain experience understanding a solution developed by someone else.
• Gain experience debugging and commenting a solution developed by someone else.

Assignment

The materials below contain a fairly good attempt at solving Program 5 using Python and IDLE. Unfortunately, the program contains various types of errors in five of the methods of the WackyPackageSeries class. Except for theses five methods (that are identified below), the code in this solution is correct.

Your task is to fix each of the erroneous five methods so that the program works and produces output that matches the output of Program 5 exactly.

Materials

• lab13.py
• series1.csv
• mycards.csv

Grading - 10 points

• 1 point - Appropriate comments are added to the WackyPackageSeries class and its methods in lab13.py.
• 2 points - In the WackyPackageSeries class of lab13.py, the __str__ method is fixed. Reuse as much of the method's code as possible. (In other words, don't replace this method's code with the code that you wrote for Program 5.)
• 2 points - In the WackyPackageSeries class of lab13.py, the process_series_information method is fixed. Reuse as much of the method's code as possible.
• 2 points - In the WackyPackageSeries class of lab13.py, the process_collection_information method is fixed. Reuse as much of the method's code as possible.
• 1 point - In the WackyPackageSeries class of lab13.py, the collection_value method is fixed. Reuse as much of the method's code as possible.
• 2 points - In the WackyPackageSeries class, the determine_missing_information method is fixed. Reuse as much of the method's code as possible.

If Time Remains

• Start working on Program 6. Let your lab TA know if you need help finding a partner.
