Question

"Write a class that represents a course at Juniata. A course has a department (ex. CS, IT, PY, BI), a number (ex. 110, 240, 356), a name (ex. Computer Science 1), and a number of credits.

Write a test driver just to make sure your class works. I recommend just instantiating a few courses and displaying them using the __str__ method. If you want to go a little farther, store a few courses in a list and loop through them to display. You will need this class to use in the next program as we are going to extend it to do more.

Submit your .py file through Moodle."

some examples of classes would be

BI-110 Introduction to Biology

CH-342 Advanced Biochemistry

BI-310 General Ecology

EN-292 Crossing the Border

Please help me figure out how to set up this code using python, thanks!!!!

Answer 1

Here is the code :

The code in the above screenshot:

class Juniata:
   ''' Class for course details '''
   def __init__(self, code,name,credits) :
       self.code = code
       self.name = name
       self.credits = credits
  
   def __str__(self) :
       return '(DETAILS : %s %s )' %(self.code,self.name)

class TestJuniata :
''' instantiate objects and print '''
   biology = Juniata('BI-110','Introduction to Biology',30)
   biochem = Juniata('CH-342','Advanced Biochemistry',25)
   ecology = Juniata('BI-310','General Ecology',15)
   english = Juniata('EN-292','Crossing the Border',10)
  
   course_list = [ biology,biochem,ecology,english ]
  
   for course in course_list :
       print(course)

Here , I have declared a class Juniata. The course details  are initialized using __init__ method. The __str__ method is used to return the string format. In the testJuniata class, I have instantiated the courses and its values, stored them in a list and printed. This is the output I got:

Hope this helps.
