Look Out, Jeff Bezos
Due Friday, April 9 @ 6pm
In this assignment, you will create The Jungle, a new online shopping site that will lay waste to Amazon. At its inception, Jungle will offer the following kinds of products:
The Jungle is still lining up its suppliers, so its stock is limited. In fact, you can read all the items The Jungle carries from the file jungle_items.txt, a tab-delimited file. The file describes each item, one item per row that is formatted like this
category name_of_item cost
To buy things from The Jungle, a shopper will select the item by number from a list. The item will then be placed in the shopper’s cart. The shopper can check their cart at any time and remove an item or even clear the cart’s contents. When they are done, the shopper can pay and exit.
This is how your solution will be graded:
| Points | Requirement |
| 1 | Begins with an attractive, centered heading |
| 2 | Presents a menu of options and gets the users selection using a function called print_menu_and_get_choice |
| 2 | Repeats until the user decides to quit. |
| 5 | Reads the items from the file jungle_items.txt and loads them into lists. |
| 5 | Presents the list of items to the user, formatted as shown, and allows the user to select an item, using a function called print_items_and_get_choice. |
| 5 | When the user selects an item, it and its associated cost is added to their cart. |
| 3 | Shows the items in their cart, formatted as shown, when the user chooses item 2. It shows the message “Your cart is empty.” when there are no items in the cart. |
| 5 | Allows the user to remove a specific item or to clear all the items in their cart. |
| 5 | Shows the user the items in their cart and their total cost as formatted in the example when the user chooses option 4, and then exits the program |
| 1 | You add helpful comments to your program, particularly before functions to explain what they do. |
| 1 | You submit your program as jungle_lastname.py, where you replace “lastname” with your last name. |
You will earn -35 out of 35 if you copy any part of your code from someone or something else, or allow others to copy from you.
There will be a 10 point penalty if your program crashes.
Here is sample output on how The Jungle will work.
