代写数据结构作业，根据场景实现对Animal sanctuary的算法设计。
Section 1: Overview of Assessment
This assignment assesses the following module learning outcomes:
Analyse requirements and select appropriate solutions
Design programmes that use appropriate data structures.
Implement data structures and the algorithms that maintain them, allowing for secure processing of the data.
The assignment is worth 20% of the overall mark for the module.
Broadly speaking, the assignment requires you to select and implement appropriate data structures, design and implement algorithms and create the relevant software applications that will allow a user to store, update and manipulate the data relating to the operations of an animal sanctuary.
The assignment is described in more detail in section 2.
This is an individual assignment.
Working on this assignment will help you to develop the ability to relate organisational requirements into design choices for the storage and management of data. It will also help you practice your programming skills on Python and explore means by which the efficiency of your programming can improve.
If you have questions about this assignment, please ask your practical session tutor for clarifications.
Python libraries should not be used in creating code, neither should built-in data structure and algorithms templates should be utilised. The only readily available code you can reuse and customise is that for importing and reading a CSV file.
Section 2: Task Specification
The case of an animal sanctuary
An animal sanctuary caters for the protection of pets and animals usually found in the wild. The usual pets that it caters for are dogs and cats while it provides shelter for birds (canaries and parrots). The wild animals are a collection that varies with the season, most usual are foxes and badgers, but there have been monkeys, deer and occasionally lions and tigers. The reason for taking in pets is when they are found stray (very rare), when their owner is taken ill or dies and have no one to take of them, found injured after an accident and owner cannot be identified, or the owner cannot continue to take care of them for other reasons and has abandoned them. In all cases the sanctuary tries to identify the owner or if not possible, to find new homes for them. In the case of dogs and cats where they are considered stray they are vaccinated, neutered and microchipped to conform to the legislation.
The wild animals are usually found where they have escaped from a zoo, have been involved in an accident, or the owners cannot continue to take care of them. Depending on the type of animal the sanctuary will aim to release them into the wild after treating them, or in the case of animals that have been kept in a zoo, arrange for their safe transfer to their original owners or to another zoo where it is necessary.
In all cases upon arrival to the sanctuary the animals are given a proper health check and are assigned a sanctuary identification. The vets that examine the animals will decide on what treatment they require - surgery, medication, or both. They also decide on the type of food they will be provided for and the initial duration of stay until declared healthy for the next step in preparing them to leave the sanctuary.
To manage its daily activities the sanctuary maintains records of the animals it caters for. Data is also kept to manage the incomings and outgoings of animals. Data includes sanctuary identification (ID), name, animal type, breed (wherever applicable), date admitted, date left, destination, destination address. Also (where applicable) data I held on surgery performed, medication and microchip number. Samples of data is shown in the attached CSV files.
Assume that no data is ever deleted from the sanctuary’s records.
You are required to complete the following tasks
Task 1 - Address the following design considerations
- Identify and create suitable data structures that can be used to store such data.
- Explain your choice of data structures relevant to the type of data stored and the operations that you are required to perform, based on the assumption that the sanctuary admits and treats more than 10000 animals per year.
- Provide detailed pseudocode for the software you have implemented
Task 2 - choose a relevant algorithm and implement the software that will allow the user to do the following subtasks
- A - create an entry for a new arrival
- B - Find the full data for an animal by using the animals sanctuary identification
- C - produce a list of identified people that have abused animals in the past (in alphabetical order)
- D - produce a list of people that have abandoned their animals before (in alphabetical order)
- E - produce a list of cats that are ready for adoption (neutered, vaccinated and microchipped)
- F - produce a list of dogs that are ready for adoption (neutered, vaccinated and microchipped)
- G - Produce a list of animals that are ready to be returned to their owners. The list should comprise both pets and wild animals with all pets listed first and all wild animals following. The listing will be based on sanctuary identification in ascending order
Task 3 - create software that allows the user to edit the data stored
- A - enter details of surgery
- B - enter details of neutering
- C - enter microchip number
- D - edit the status of an animal (please see data provided)
- E - edit date of departure from the sanctuary
- F - edit destination of the animal upon departure
Section 3: Deliverables
One folder in zip format (only) must be uploaded via the relevant link on the module’s space on Blackboard. The link will be available two weeks before the due date and will be communicated to students via an email announcement.
The folder must contain:
All program files saved in Python format (3.6 or 3.7) - any other version will not be accepted and the work will not be marked resulting in a 0 (zero) mark for this coursework. (Tasks 2 & 3)
One word or PDF file containing the justification for the choice of data structures (Task 1)
One word or PDF document containing the Pseudo code (Task 1)
One text file with simple instructions of how to use / run your software
Section 4: Marking Criteria
The following table (please see next page) gives details of the marking criteria for this coursework.
Marks will be awarded for clear rationale justifying design choices.
Clarity in the pseudo code submitted allowing to map the full logic of the solution implemented is expected.
Code must be well structured, appropriately commented, neat and efficient. Clear use of functions and reduced repetitions of blocks of code are expected.
The use of GUI or other user interface will not attract any specific marks, but simplicity and efficiency of its design will be considered when awarding for an overall efficient system developed.
NOTE - No hard coded data will be allowed. Hard coded data in the submitted work will result in the work marked at 0 (zero).
Section 5: Feedback mechanisms
Formative / Verbal will be provided during practical sessions and during the demonstration sessions after submission of the work.
