Alignment with Unit and Course

Unit Learning Outcome

ULO 3: Describe and discuss the elements of effective programming style

ULO 4: Demonstrate an understanding of the software development life cycle and apply sound programming analysis techniques (design, coding, debugging, testing and documentation) to justify simple programming problems

In this project, you will work individually to write programs which demonstrate your understanding of IPO and usage of simple functions in Python programs.

Content and Structure:
You will have to write a modular program to:
1. Perform a series of transactions
2. This will be a project which students will choose and discuss with the lecturer prior to commencing.
3. Examples could be a scientific calculator, expense management system, online shopping system, banking system etc

Program expectation:
• The student must be able to explain the working of the program and its logic.
• Program should be indented, proper comments should be given, modification history should be present, variable names and data types should be chosen appropriately.
• The program should compile and execute to display the result.
• The student must use programming constructs available in Python and follow coding standards.

Assessment Description

Detailed Submission Requirements

• Multiple program files may be uploaded.
• Student will also need to demonstrate the working of the program along with a full explanation of the underlying code.
• Follow coding standards, naming conventions for variables and functions.
• Students will be asked to explain the working of their program and the logic they've used.
• Coding should be modular and program should use all the programming constructs learnt in the course.

Program 1
The program you will be developing will be used by event organizer's staff who are promoting social gatherings. e.g. LAN Parties, Board Game Nights

The event organizer has a range of events. Customer can book a seat at an event, and if circumstances change they can remove their reservation at a later time, but not when it is less than 1 day before the event. The event organisers want you to make a program that can be used by their staff to store seat reservation information.

Following features need to be implemented in the program:

Basic Tasks
1. Create customer details - Name, Email, Reference Code (5 digit reference code that does not start with zeros (e.g. 10000 is the smallest acceptable value), Adult or Child
2. Reserve seat at an event - restriction is that customer can book only one seat for given event, they may however book seats at a different event
3. Once all seats at anevent are booked, user should get a warning message - sorry, event is sold out
4. Customers can cancel their reservation, condition is, it must not be allowed less than 24 hours before an event
5. Show summary information about an event - number of seats booked, number of seats available
6. Information about customers and event bookings must persist

Advance Tasks
1. Allow user to create a new event
2. Full validation of all input
3. Ask user to choose file name and path to save the file (Assumption is that the directory/folder already exists)
4. Report on a customer's reservation

Program 2
Your program will be used by the staff who work for an airline company, e.g. Qantas Airways.
The airline has a range of flights between various cities each day. Customers can book to fly on a flight, and if circumstances change they can cancel their booking at a later time, but not when it is less than 2 hours until the flight. The client want you to make a program that can be used to store the booking information, and the check-in information of the people on a flight.

The program should allow staff to:
1. Create customer details - Name, Address, 3 digit passenger code that does not start with zeros (e.g. 100 is the smallest acceptable value), whether the customer can only eat halal meat (e.g. Muslim passengers)
2. Customers should be able to book seats on a flight, only one seat on a flight per customer. They may however book a seat on a different flight.
3. Cancel a booking - only permitted 2 hours before the flight
4. Summary Information
a. The source and destination places.
b. The number of seats that are booked.
c. The number of seats that are available.
d. The number of passengers booked on the flight that need a halal meal.
5. Customer and flight information must persist

Advanced Tasks
1. Create a new flight
2. Full validation of all input
3. Ask user to choose file name and path to save the file (Assumption is that the directory/folder already exists)
4. Report on a customer's booking
