Python progamming help needed

Final Programming Project Assessment (400 Points toward Course Grade)

Instructions: The following programming problem can be solved by a program that uses three basic tasks-Input Data,

Process Data, and Output Results. To process the data, use file, looping, array, decision, accumulating, counting, find

min/max and sorting techniques. First, create an MS Word document containing a hierarchy chart to organize your

program modules. Second, create a RAPTOR flowchart to solve this problem. Third, create the program with Python.

You MUST use Modular Programming techniques by using Sub Modules in your program. Your "main" module should

not be very large. NEVER call "main" from inside your program. Also, do not use "recursion" in this program

(submodules that call themselves). You are only allowed to use looping techniques to repeat sections of your submodules.

Problem Statement

Ledger's Furniture Store has 10 salespeople. Ledger's wants to produce a combined monthly sales report for all

salespeople. Ledger's wants you to write a program that will allow them to enter data in any order, save the unsorted data

to a file, and then produce a file in alphabetical order by name of the salespeople. The unsorted output file should be

named "sales_unsorted.txt" and the sorted file should be named "sales_sorted.txt".

Your unsorted file output should include:

 A list of the salespeople’s names and the monthly sales for each of them.

Your sorted file output should include:

 A list of the salespeople’s name and the monthly sales for each of them.

 At the bottom of the report, list the following:

o The total combined sales for all salespeople.

o The average sales for all salespeople.

o The salesperson with the lowest sales for the month.

o The salesperson with the highest sales for the month.

You must submit the unsorted and sorted files with your RAPTOR program to show that your program ran correctly.

Here is your sample test data to use with your program. This is to be typed in as user input.

Salesperson Monthly Sales Joan $ 1525 Bob $ 1935 Lisa $ 2550 Tina $ 1745 Corey $ 3025 Chummily $ 1420 Rick $ 4560 Nancy $ 2645 Holly $ 1489 Frank $ 4450

Do not worry about the formatting of your output files since RAPTOR does not support formatting controls.

The unsorted file should look similar to this: The sorted file should look similar to this:

Joan Sales: $ 1525 Bob Sales: $ 1935 Bob Sales: $ 1935 Chummily Sales: $ 1420 Lisa Sales: $ 2550 Corey Sales: $ 3025 Tina Sales: $ 1745 Frank Sales: $ 4450 Corey Sales: $ 3025 Holly Sales: $ 1489 Chummily Sales: $ 1420 Joan Sales: $ 1525 Rick Sales: $ 4560 Lisa Sales: $ 2550 Nancy Sales: $ 2645 Nancy Sales: $ 2645 Holly Sales: $ 1489 Rick Sales: $ 4560 Frank Sales: $ 4450 Tina Sales: $ 1745

======================

Total Sales: $ XXXXX Average Sales: $ XXXX Salesperson with Lowest Sales: name Salesperson with Highest Sales: name

Other Requirements:

 Documentation: Use comments in your final Python program to explain your code. Use the "Comments" feature

in RAPTOR to document each symbol in the flowchart. Be sure to identify the data type of each variable used in

your comments. Be sure to explain what each formula and function does. Be sure to explain what each of the

other symbols in the flowchart does in a comment.

 Test and debug your Program: Use the sample input data, run the program, then check your answers with a

calculator or Excel. If something did not match up, then fix your program.

 Program must execute and produce correct output.

 Read this page again to be sure you covered all requirements.

 See the Programming Project Rubric for grading principles.

Submission Instructions:

 You will submit 5 files for this project. You must submit the Hierarchy Chart in a MS Word or PDF file,

a RAPTOR Flowchart file, and a Python Program file.

 Name the RAPTOR file (replacing LastName and FirstInitial with YOUR name):

LastName_FirstInitial_Program_4.rap (example: Smith_J_Program_4.rap).

 Name the Python file (replacing LastName and FirstInitial with YOUR name):

LastName_FirstInitial_Program_4.py (example: Smith_J_Program_4.py).

 You must also submit the unsorted and sorted files (sales_unsorted.txt and sales_sorted.txt) to show that your

program ran correctly.

 Attach your files individually (no zip files) to your assignment submission upload. If you find that you made an

error and want to resubmit before the due date, you may do so. However, only the LAST files uploaded by the

due date will be graded.
