Question

Now you will continue to employ the list data structure and utilize functions to add the following two new functions: Search employee by SSN: This functionality makes use of looping and string parsing to search all the employees in the list and returns the information of the employee who has a SSN similar to the one that the user provided. Your system should display the employee information in the following format: Mike Smith... SSN: 123123123 Phone: 111-222-3333 Email: [email protected] Salary: $6000 Edit employee information: This functionality makes use of the "Search employee by SSN" function first to find the right employee, then it will allow the user to edit the information of the selected user

I need this script to SEARCH employee by SSN and EDIT employee information in the format provided.

Answer 1

from difflib import SequenceMatcher
#SequenceMatcher used to find the ratio of similarity
gList=[]
def input_values():
global gList
print('Enter Employee Name:', end=' ')
employeeName = input()
print('Enter Employee SSN:', end=' ')
employeeSSN = input()
print('Enter Employee Phone Number (ex. (xxx)xxx-xxxx)', end=' ')
employeePhone = input()
print('Enter Employee Email:', end=' ')
employeeEmail = input()
print('Enter Employee Salary', end=' ')
employeeSalary = float(input())
employeeList=[employeeName,employeeSSN,employeePhone,employeeEmail,employeeSalary]
gList.append(employeeList)
print('\n')
print('\n')

def show_values(sList):
for emp in sList:
print(emp[0].center(60,'-'))
print('\n')
print('SSN:',emp[1])
print('\n')
print('Phone:',emp[2])

for emp in gList:
if(SequenceMatcher(None,emp[1],sEmployeeSSN).ratio()>0.6):
#this ratio shows the similarity ratio, One can change as required
sList.append(emp)
show_values(sList)

def edit():
