Project 5: Working with Data in Dictionaries

Due: Oct  30th at 11:59pm

Summary:

In this project you will use nearly all of the basic python that you have learned so far, loops. lists, dictionaries and if statements.

Details:

First create your new project in pycharm with your name in the project name

Next get the file project5File.zip and save it into your project folder

unzip the file, you should have three files now

•    data.txt (when grading I will add to this file)
•   Project5Start.py
• main.py

You will work in main.py. In that file I have imported Project5Start and called the function that I put there (it reads data from data.txt and makes a list of dictionaries out of that data. The list of dictionaries is stored in the game_data variable. Do all of your work below this.

Each dictionary is in the following format

|=========================================================|

|   "name"         :  <the name is a string>              |

|  "release:       :   <the release date is an int>       |

|   "price"        :   <the price is a float>             |

|   "total_sales"  :  <the total dollar sales as int>     |

|=========================================================|

Ask the user to choose one of the following options.

• find recent games
• ask the user to enter a year.
• print all of the games in the list that were released in that year or later
• Find total copies sold
• we have the price and the total sales, so we will assume no discounts and use these two to find the total number sold
• print the name of the game and the total copies sold.
• Find average revenue per year
• use the release year and the total sales to calculate this
• be sure to show the game and the average revenue per year in your output.
• Find the highest average revenue per year
• like the option above, but only display the game with the highest revenue per year.
• Find all the games that have sold at least X copies
• ask the user what X should be
• find and print those games which have sold more than X copies (using the same method for copies sold as in the second option)

Remember! I'll have more/other games in my data.txt file when I'm grading it, so you need to make sure that you are using the game_data dictionary and not just looking at the data.txt that I gave you and giving "canned responses" back

Of course put this into git and onto github sooner rather than later.

Additional  requirements:
Your code must be commented. you don't have to comment every line, but you need to explain to me what you are doing in the code.

Submission:

As with the previous project, to submit the project to me, share it with me on github. My github id is jsantore. You can see directions for doing this here.
