1.10)

Can you please help me with this Python question.

A simple course management system models a students information with a name and a set of test scores. This system should be able to create a student object with a given name and a number of scores, all of which will be 0 at startup.

The system should be able to access or replace a score at the given position (counting from 0):

1. obtain the number of scores - getNumberOfScores()
2. obtain the highest score - getHighScore()
3. obtain the average score - getAverage()
4. obtain the students name - getName()

In addition, the student object when printed should show the students name and scores as in the following example:

Name: Ken Lambert

Score 1: 88

Score 2: 77

Score 3: 100

High score: 100

Average: 88.333

Define a Student class that supports these features and behavior. A main() has been provided for you in order to test the implementation of your Student class.

#(Starting code)

# Write your code below:

def main(numScores = 3):

"""Tests sorting."""

# Create the list and put 5 students into it

students = list()

names = ("Juan", "Bill", "Stacy", "Maria", "Charley")

for name in names:

s = Student(name, numScores)

for index in range(numScores):

s.setScore(index, randint(70, 100))

students.append(s)

# Print the contents

print("The list of students:")

for s in students:

print(s)

if __name__ == "__main__":

main()

I have worked on it and it does work, BUT only got 40 %. Maybe i'm missing something.

Here is what i did ( Which is not right).

class Student:

def __init__(self,name,numScores):

self.name=name

self.numScores=numScores

self.Scores=[]

def setScore(self,index,score):

self.Scores.insert(index,score)

def getNumberOfScores(self):

return self.Scores;

def getHighScore(self):

return max(self.Scores)

def getAverage(self):

return sum(self.Scores)/numScores

def getName(self):

return self.name

import random

if __name__ == "__main__":

numScores=3

s=Student("Ken Lambert",numScores)

for i in range(numScores):

s.setScore(i,random.randint(70,100))

print("Name: ",s.getName())

result=s.getNumberOfScores();

for i in range(numScores):

print("Score",i+1,":",result[i])

print("High Score:",s.getHighScore())

print("Average is:",s.getAverage())

The Feedback i got.

• if you're going to refer to an instance variable you must include the self. at the start of it.
• When returning the getNumberOfScores you are returning the list itself when you should be returning the length of the list
• When setting a score, you aren't inserting you are replacing what is there. So first when you create the student object it should loop and assign 0 for all the grades. When setting a score, you just access the list at the index given and assign it the grade given.
