CS1026: Assignment 1

Good Morning America!

Learning Outcomes:

By completing this assignment, you will gain skills relating to

 Basic Python programming constructs

Tasks:

In this assignment, you will write a complete program in Python that computes the cost of
breakfast at the Good Morning America! restaurant. Your program is expected to prompt the
user for input and validate it before computing the results. Your program will make use of
expressions, decisions, and input/output in Python.

Functional Specifications:

1. The program will prompt the user for various pieces of information about the desired
breakfast. The required information is described below. Some of the information is
dependent on the type of breakfast being ordered. Once all the information has been
entered, the program will compute and display the amount of money (including tax)
charged for the customer’s breakfast.

2. The customer can build a custom breakfast from the following individual food and
beverage items: egg ($0.99 each), bacon ($0.49 per strip), sausage ($1.49 each), hash
brown ($1.19 each), toast ($0.79 per slice), coffee ($1.09 per cup), and tea ($0.89 per tea
bag). For example, the customer can order two eggs with two toasts and a cup of coffee.

3. Alternatively, the customer can order a small, regular, or big breakfast:

a. The small breakfast includes one egg, one hash brown, two slices of toast, two
strips of bacon, and one sausage.

b. The regular breakfast includes two eggs, one hash brown and two slices of toast,
four strips of bacon, and two sausages.
 c. The big breakfast includes three eggs, two hash browns, four slices of toast, six
strips of bacon, and three sausages.

d. The prices for these breakfast choices are based on the prices of the individual
food items that compose them.

e. The customer can add any of the food and drink items listed above to a small,
regular, or big breakfast order. For example, a customer may order a regular
breakfast and add a coffee and an additional sausage to it.

4. The program will display the available choices in the following way:

Enter item (q to terminate): small breakfast, regular breakfast, big

and the user will type the customer’s choice. For instance, if the customer wants a big
breakfast, the user will type: big breakfast <enter>. The program will then ask for
the quantity (how many big breakfasts). The program continues to ask for additional
menu items by re-displaying the choices. When the customer is done ordering, the user
enters q, the program then displays the pre-tax total, the tax, and the total with tax. Other
scenarios are possible, in which the customer decides to customize the breakfast order.

5. The program will compute the total cost of the order with additional taxes of 13%. All the
costs are to be rounded to the nearest penny, and displayed with a dollar sign and two
decimal positions. For example, a total cost of 13.66666 will be displayed as $13.67

6. The program will compute the prices for the small, regular, and big breakfast based on
the prices of the items that they include. You are not allowed to pre-compute the costs of
these breakfasts and then hard code these literal numbers in the program.

7. The program must be able to compute the total breakfast cost for an entire table of
customers. For example, three customers may be sitting at the same table, where
customer John orders the big breakfast with coffee, customer Jane orders the regular
breakfast with an extra two strips of bacon and tea, and customer Linda chooses to have
two eggs with two slices of toast and a strip of bacon. The user would enter the quantities
for menu item, e.g. 1 big breakfast, 1 regular breakfast, 1 coffee, 1 tea, 2 eggs, 2 slices of
toast, 3 strips of bacon.

8. The program must request user input in the same order as per the example runs below.
That is to say, the program will ask for the menu item and then for its quantity, not the
other way around.

9. Your program must accept inputs whether they contain upper-case or lower-case
characters (for example, BiG breaKfasT and big breakfast should both be accepted).
Additionally, your program must be robust to leading and trailing spaces, including cases
when multiple spaces separate words in input lines (for example small breakfast and
 small breakfast should both be accepted). A Python function that performs this
type of input formatting is provided to you:

def formatInput(textLine) :
textLine = textLine.lower().strip()
wordList = textLine.split()
textLine = " ".join(wordList)
return textLine

10. The program must also detect and report invalid input; that is, the input must match one
of the keywords or phrases exactly (ignoring upper case and spaces). When an invalid
input is detected, the program will display an error message, and prompt for the
input until the user enters it correctly.

11. Finally, your program must be robust to users entering input other than numbers when
quantities are requested. That is, you should input the string and validate that the
input is numeric. This can be done using isnumeric(). So to test whether the value of
a variable quantity is actually a number you can do quantity.isnumeric(). This will
return True if it is a number and False otherwise.

Non-Functional Specifications:

1. Include brief comments in your code identifying yourself, describing the program, and
describing key portions of the code.

2. Assignments are to be done individually and must be your own work. Software may be
used to detect academic dishonesty (cheating).

3. Use Python coding conventions and good programming techniques. For example:

a. Meaningful variable names

b. Conventions for naming variables and constants

c. Use of constants where appropriate

d. Readability, indentation, and consistency

The name of the file you will submit must be your Assign1.py. Make sure you attach your
Python source file to your assignment submission; do not put the code inline in the textbox.

Make sure that you develop your code with Python 3.7 as the interpreter. Teaching Assistants
will not endeavor to deal with code that uses earlier versions of Python.
What You Will Be Marked On:

1. Functional specifications:

a. Does the program behave according to the specifications found in the assignment
document?
b. Does the program handle invalid input?
c. Is the output according to specifications?

2. Non-functional specifications as described above

3. Assignment submission: via OWL with correct filenames for source code.
