I have an inventory program that works 100% but when adding a new item in inventory. How do I make sure the ID number isn't a duplicate to another item already in inventory? The inputs for this are located in the function add_one_item. Please ask questions for more details if need be thank you for your time.
Part of code affected:
import os
class Inventory:
def __init__(self):
#AT LAUNCH GROUPS AND LOADING FUNCTION
self.ID = []
self.item = []
self.qty = []
self.load()
def add_one_item(inventory):
#ADDING PROMPT AND ERROR CHECKING
print('Adding Inventory')
print('================')
while True:
try:
new_ID = int(input("Enter an ID number for the item: "))
new_name = input('Enter the name of the item: ').lower()
assert new_name.isalpha(), "Only letters are allowed!"
new_qty = int(input("Enter the quantity of the item: "))
inventory.add(new_ID, new_name, new_qty)
break
except Exception as e:
print("Invalid choice! try again! " + str(e))
print()
try if statement if new_ID in class_variable ID: print something or do the thing that you want and store a variable of the class in the add_one_item so you call the the values in the class inventory.

I have an inventory program that works but has one problem.
Search(option 4) needs to be able to search an inventory item by characters in its name. For example, if Oranges are in inventory, I should be able to type or and it can pull it up and display all the information about it including name, qty, and ID number.
The problem: Currently search only works if you type in the ID number.
Question: how do I change over this search function without causing issues for my other program options. I will attach the full program, but the problem is in def search.
Reason for providing full code: Every time I try to make an edit to the def search, add (Option 1)either does not work or overwrites inventory items that share the same ID number (it shouldn't accept duplications). Same with update (Option 3).
Code:
import os
import json
class Inventory:
def __init__(self):
#AT LAUNCH GROUPS AND LOADING FUNCTION
self.items = {}
self.load()
def remove(self, ID):
#REMOVING ITEMS FOR LISTS AND OUTPUT DOCUMENT

self.save()
def add(self, ID, name, qty):
#ADDING ITEMS FOR LISTS AND OUTPUT DOCUMENT
self.items[str(ID)] = {"name": name, "qty": qty}
self.save()
def update(self, ID, update):
#UPDATING ITEMS FOR LISTS AND OUTPUT DOCUMENT
self.items[str(ID)]["qty"] += update
self.save()

Does this solve your problem?
def search(self, query):
for id in self.items:
if str(query) == id or self.items[id]['name'].startswith(str(query)):
return id, self.items[id]['name'], self.items[id]['qty']
return None
Not case sensitive by converting name and query to lowercase first:
def search(self, query):
for id in self.items:
if str(query) == id or self.items[id]['name'].lower().startswith(str(query).lower()):
return id, self.items[id]['name'], self.items[id]['qty']
return None
I have a program that has a search option that if chicken or Chicken is in inventory it will pull up the item by just typing chi (not case-sensitive). The issue is how do I make the function return all items that contain chi?
For example if I have Chickens, chicken, chickens, and Chicken in inventory I should be able to type in chi and it should print out all the information about each item.
Affected Code (not full program):
def search(self, query):
#SEARCHING DATA BASED ON CLOSEST CHARACTER MATCH - NOT CASE SENSITIVE
for id in self.items:
if str(query) == id or self.items[id]['name'].lower().startswith(str(query).lower()):
return id, self.items[id]['name'], self.items[id]['qty']

For a more general answer, if you just want to find the subset of items that contain a substring, this is a good solution:
def subset_contains(input_word, valid_words):
match_list = [word for word in valid_words if input_word in word]
return match_list
running this code:
valid_words = ['chicken', 'cheese', 'chess', 'dog', 'coach']
print(subset_contains('ch', valid_words))
results in this output:
['chicken', 'cheese', 'chess', 'coach']
Here's some more in depth code that might be more like what you're looking for
#defining object, which has a name and description
class object:
def __init__(self, name, info):
self.name = name
self.info = info
#returns a subset of a list where the name contains a string
def return_contains(match_name, objects):
match_list = [obj for obj in objects if match_name in obj.name]
return match_list
#defining objects
objects = [object('chicken', 'chicken 1'),
object('chicken', 'chicken 2'),
object('chicken', 'chicken 3'),
object('coach', 'teaches chickens'),
object('boat', 'im boat')]
#doing the filtering
result = return_contains('ch', objects)
#printing out the results
for r in result:
print('name: {}, description: {}'.format(r.name, r.info))
output:
name: chicken, description: chicken 1
name: chicken, description: chicken 2
name: chicken, description: chicken 3
name: coach, description: teaches chickens
Right now you're just returning the first one you find. Instead, you need to make a list of all the ones you find, and return that:
def search(self, query):
#SEARCHING DATA BASED ON CLOSEST CHARACTER MATCH - NOT CASE SENSITIVE
found = []
for id in self.items:
if str(query) == id or self.items[id]['name'].lower().startswith(str(query).lower()):
found.append(
(id, self.items[id]['name'], self.items[id]['qty'])
)
return found

How do I convert my search function from find data based on ID number to finding the item based on item name entitled 'name'?
Meaning if I have ID: 1 , name: apple , qty: 100 currently if I type in 1 it finds the data for all three fields. But how do I change it so it accepts app (short for apple) and pulls up all three fields? I attached the full code as I believe that to resolve this issue you need the whole program.
But the heart of the issue is located in def search.

I'm trying to use a while loop to add objects to a list.
Here's basically what I want to do:
class x:
pass
choice = raw_input(pick what you want to do)
while(choice!=0):
if(choice==1):
Enter in info for the class:
append object to list (A)
if(choice==2):
print out length of list(A)
if(choice==0):
break
((((other options))))
I can get the object added to the list, but I am stuck at how to add multiple objects to the list in the loop.
Here is the code I have so far:
print "Welcome to the Student Management Program"
class Student:
def __init__ (self, name, age, gender, favclass):
self.name = name
self.age = age
self.gender = gender
self.fac = favclass
choice = int(raw_input("Make a Choice: " ))
while (choice !=0):
if (choice==1):
print("STUDENT")
namer = raw_input("Enter Name: ")
ager = raw_input("Enter Age: ")
sexer = raw_input("Enter Sex: ")
faver = raw_input("Enter Fav: ")
elif(choice==2):
print "TESTING LINE"
elif(choice==3):
print(len(a))
guess=int(raw_input("Make a Choice: "))
s = Student(namer, ager, sexer, faver)
a =[];
a.append(s)
raw_input("Press enter to exit")
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The problem appears to be that you are reinitializing the list to an empty list in each iteration:
while choice != 0:
...
a = []
a.append(s)
Try moving the initialization above the loop so that it is executed only once.
a = []
while choice != 0:
...
a.append(s)
Auto-incrementing the index in a loop:
myArr[(len(myArr)+1)]={"key":"val"}
