Posted on 29th Oct 2023 04:38:40 in General
Your task will be to create and design a single webpage based on one of these topics.
An educational/instructional how-to web page on any topic of interest with instructions and pictures
A favorite recipe with instructions and pictures
A list of must-watch streaming tv shows
Website Content Requirements
Create engaging, chunked content for ease of readability and user experience.
You should have a minimum of 5 sections/steps/items for your webpage.
There should be a minimum of 1 image per section to help break up the content.
Your text content should be original and written by yourself.
Images can be used from any free image license site or your own personal images.
Website Technical Requirements
You can design the pages however you would like to but be sure it meets the following minimum standards:
Proper HTML structure, HTML tags, and use semantic HTML sections where appropriate. (Don't forget to use whenever possible)
CSS formatting for all text content. Define an internal/embedded style sheet for the head section of your page (or an external one if you wish).
CSS formatting for margins and centering content for your webpage.
Include appropriate title and meta tags for SEO purposes.
Create a well thought out but simple color scheme, see http://paletton.com or http://colrd.com/palette/ for inspiration (play with the site to get a scheme that fits your topic - focus on no more than 3 main colors)
The proper use of heading tags (h1, h2, etc.) for sections and hierarchy of the website.
Use at least one Google font in the CSS style sheet and ensure that you are using a font other than the standard times new roman fonts.
Run your HTML code through the HTML validator link: https://www.freeformatter.com/html-validator.html
Have fun with this one. It's always great to see what everyone ends up doing for their designs. Eventually we will publish our webpages and share our work with our classmates.

This assignment is about creating an expense management system.
You will
download the skeleton of the program, then implement the functions/methods. The design of
the program has been set up for you.
In this system, users will be able to add and deduct expenses, update expenses, sort expenses,
Introduction to Software Development
and export filtered expenses to a file. The program will initially load a collection of expenses
from 2 different .txt files (in the same format) and store them in a dictionary.
Steps for completing the assignment:
1. Complete all of the required methods
a. Implement all of the methods defined in ExpensesLoader.py,
ExpensesManager.py, and Expense.py
b. Docstrings have already been provided
c. Add comments to your code
d. You can create any number of helper methods (with docstrings).
e. The main function in expenses.py has already been implemented for you. DO
NOT CHANGE THE CODE IN MAIN.
2. Test your code by running (and passing) all of the provided test cases in the given
expenses_test.py.
a. Write additional test cases as noted and make sure they pass as expected. Your
test cases should be distinct.
3. Make sure your entire program and the unit testing file run without errors!
a. expenses.py is the main program file. Run this file to run your entire program.
Required Methods
Below you will find explanations of the methods that need to be written in ExpensesLoader.py,
ExpensesManager.py, and Expense.py. We are expecting to see these methods with these
names and signatures exactly. Do not change the names of these methods as we will be
running automated tests against each individual method. You will fail the autograded tests if
you change the method names or signatures. You will also fail each test unless you remove the
raise NotImplementedError line in each method.
Be sure to add comments to your code.
In ExpensesLoader.py:
def import_expenses(self, expenses, file):
â— Reads data from the given file and stores the expenses in the given expenses dictionary,
where the expense type is the key and the value is an Expense object with the
parameters expense type and total amount for that expense type.
â— The same expense type may appear multiple times in the given file, so add all the
amounts for the same expense types.
â— Ignore expenses with missing amounts. If a line contains both an expense type and an
expense amount, they will be separated by a colon (:).
â— You can assume that if they exist, expense types are one-word strings and the amounts
are numerical and can be casted to a float data type.
â— Strip any whitespace before or after the expense types and amounts.
â— Blank lines should be ignored.
â— Expenses are case sensitive. "coffee" is a different expense from "Coffee"
â— This method will be called twice in the main function in expenses.py with the same
dictionary but different files.
â— This method doesn’t return anything. Rather, it updates the given expenses dictionary
based on the expenses in the given file.
â— For example, after loading the expenses from the file, the expenses dictionary should
look like this: {'food': Expense('food', 5.00), 'coffee': Expense('coffee', 12.40), 'rent':
Expense('rent', 825.00), 'clothes': Expense('clothes', 45.00), 'entertainment':
Expense('entertainment', 135.62), 'music': Expense('music', 324.00), family':
Expense('family', 32.45)}
In ExpensesManager.py:
def get_expense(self, expenses, expense_type):
â— Returns the Expense object for the given expense type in the given expenses dictionary.
â— Prints a friendly message and returns None if the expense type doesn't exist.
â— (Note: Printing a friendly message means that the program should not raise an error or
otherwise terminate. Simply tell the user that the requested expense type does not exist
and continue the program.
â— Also note that None is a specific keyword in Python of NoneType. You should not
return a string “None” from this method.)
def add_expense(self, expenses, expense_type, value):
â— If the expense_type already exists in the given expenses dictionary, add the value to the
associated Expense object amount.
â— Otherwise, create a new entry in the expenses dictionary with the expense_type as the key and the value as an Expense object with the given expense_type and value
parameters.
â— Prints the updated Expense object.
â— This method doesn’t return anything.
def deduct_expense(self, expenses, expense_type, value):
â— From the given expenses dictionary, get the Expense object associated with the given
expense_type and deduct the given value from the amount.
â— Raises a RuntimeError if the given value is greater than the existing amount of the
Expense object. Note: You are not supposed to use try/except to catch the
RuntimeError you raised. We expect the method to raise a RuntimeError if the
value is greater than the existing total of the expense type.
â— Prints a friendly message if the expense type doesn't exist from the given expenses
dictionary. (Note: Printing a friendly message means that the program should not raise
an error or otherwise terminate. Simply tell the user that the requested expense type
does not exist and continue the program.)
â— Print the updated Expense object if RuntimeError is not raised.
â— This method doesn’t return anything.
def update_expense(self, expenses, expense_type, value):
â— From the given expenses dictionary, update the Expense object associated with the
given expense_type and use the given value.
â— Prints a friendly message if the expense type doesn't exist. Note: Printing a friendly
message means that the program should not raise an error or otherwise terminate.
Simply tell the user that the requested expense type does not exist and continue the
program.
â— Prints the updated Expense object if it exists.
â— This method doesn’t return anything.
def sort_expenses(self, expenses, sorting):
â— Converts the key:value pairs in the given expenses dictionary to a list of tuples
containing the expense type and amount of the Expense object (Expense.expense_type,
Expense.amount) and sorts based on the given sorting argument.
â— If the sorting argument is the string ‘expense_type’, sorts the list of tuples based on the
expense type (e.g. ‘rent’) in ascending alphabetical order of the expense_type, e.g.
sorted results: ("coffee", 5.0), ("food", 5000.0), ("rent", 1000.0)
â— Otherwise, if the sorting argument is ‘amount’, sorts the list of tuples based on the total
expense amount (e.g. 825.0) in descending order of the expense amount, e.g. sorted
results: ("food", 5000.0), ("rent", 1000.0), ("coffee", 5.0)
â— Returns the list of sorted tuples. (Note: If the given sorting argument is not an
acceptable value (e.g. ‘expense_type’ or 'amount'), this method does nothing except
print a friendly message and return None.)
def export_expenses(self, expenses, expense_types, file):
â— Exports the Expense objects associated with the given expense_types from the given
expenses dictionary to the given file.
â— Do not append to the file. If the function is called again and the given file already exists,
make sure it overwrites what was previously in the file instead of appending to it.
â— Iterates over the given expenses dictionary, filters based on the given expense types (a
list of strings), and exports to a file. Skips any expense type in the given list of expense
types that doesn't exist.
â— If the expenses argument is the dictionary {"food": Expense("food", 5000.00), "rent":
Expense("rent", 1000.00), "coffee": Expense("coffee", 5.00), "clothes":
Expense("clothes", 58.92)} and the expense_types argument is the list of strings
[‘coffee', 'clothes', 'rent’], exports a file containing:
coffee: 5.00
clothes: 58.92
rent: 1000.00
â— If the expenses argument is the dictionary {"food": Expense("food", 5000.00), "rent":
Expense("rent", 1000.00), "coffee": Expense("coffee", 5.00), "clothes":
Expense("clothes", 58.92)} and the expense_types argument is the list of strings
[‘coffee', 'clothes', 'sports’], exports a file containing:
coffee: 5.00
clothes: 58.92
â— Note, the specified expense type 'sports' does not exist in the expenses dictionary, so it
is ignored.
â— If an item is duplicated in the given expense types, don’t worry about it, just export the
data as is. You should not deduplicate the expense types.
â— This method doesn’t return anything.
In Expense.py:
def add_amount(self, amount):
â— Adds the given amount to the total amount of the expense.
â— This method doesn’t return anything.
def deduct_amount(self, amount):
â— Deducts the given amount from the total amount of the expense.
â— This method doesn’t return anything.
We have provided you with the following methods. DO NOT MODIFY these:
def __init__(self, expense_type, amount):
â— Initialize expense_type with given expense_type and amount
def __str__(self):
â— Returns string representation of expense, aimed at the user. Called by str(object) and the
built-in functions format() and print() to compute an “informal” or nicely printable string
representation. Returns expense type and amount, rounded to 2 decimal places.
def __repr__(self):
â— Returns string representation of expense, aimed at the programmer. Typically used for
debugging, to provide an information-rich and unambiguous string representation.
Returns expense type and amount, rounded to 2 decimal places.
Unit Testing
To test your code, we have provided you with a SUBSET of the unit tests for this assignment in
expenses_test.py. When we grade, we will run additional tests against your program. Passing
the pre-submission tests does not guarantee that you will pass the post-submission tests.
Expected Output
We’ve provided the ‘template_behaviour.txt’ file to show the expected behavior of the expense
management program while it’s running. For example, in the scenario below, entering “1” will
allow the user to get the information for a particular expense. Entering “coffee” will show
12.40, the total for that expense. You are not required to round any numbers.
The following is what will appear in Codio for submission:
1. expenses.py (DO NOT MODIFY)
2. ExpensesLoader.py, ExpensesManager.py, and Expense.py with all the required
implementation.
3. expenses_test.py: the unit testing file
4. expenses.txt and expenses_2.txt: the .txt files to be read by your program
a. It is important that you DO NOT edit these files. If you do, you could fail the
Introduction to Software Development
automated testing.
b. DO NOT change the spacing or remove any blank lines.
c. DO NOT copy/paste the text from these files into other files.
