Final Project
Learning Objective
Demonstrate knowledge of Python programming concepts learned throughout the
semester. You are not allowed to use Python concepts that were not taught this
semester in this course.
Assignment Description
Write a program that allows the user to learn about the national parks. Read in a CSV
file with information about national parks to create a list of dictionary objects. Each
dictionary object holds the information for one national park. The user will be allowed
to get information regarding the national parks.

You are provided a CSV with data about the national parks.
• Each row represents one line in a table, and commas separate each column.
• The first line in the CSV file represents the header which contains the keys for the
dictionary objects. Each subsequent row represents a park.

CSV File (Example)
Code,Name,State,Acres,Latitude,Longitude,Date,Description

Your solution must use techniques from course materials. You may NOT import and
use the CSV or other modules to process the CSV file.
Steps
1. In PyCharm (Community Edition), open an existing project (such as ITP115) or
create a new project.
o If you open an existing project, then create a new directory (probably under the
Assignments directory) named project_last_first where last is your last/family
name and first is your preferred first name. Use all lower case letters.
o If you create a new project, then name it project_last_first where last is your
last/family name and first is your preferred first name. Use all lower case letters.
2. In the project or directory, you will create multiple Python files. At the top of each
file, put comments in the following format and replace the name, email, section,
and filename with your actual information:
# Name, USC email
# ITP 115, Spring 2022
# Section: number or nickname
# Final Project
# filename.py
# Description:
# Describe what this file does.

3. Put the national_parks.csv file in your project_last_first directory.
o Download the file from Blackboard under the item for the Final Project.
o Drag it onto your project_last_first directory in PyCharm.
4. Create a Python file entitled tasks.py. In this file, you will define functions that will
be called from other functions in another Python file.
o Define the readParksFile() function.
• Parameter: fileName is the name of the CSV file to read and it has a default
value of "national_parks.csv"
• Return value: a list of dictionary objects where the keys are the strings from
the header row and the values are the information from the rest of the CSV
file
ITP 115 2022-01-04
Page 3 of 21
• Each park is represented with a dictionary. The keys are the words from the
header row, which are the following strings: "Code", "Name", "State",
"Acres", "Latitude", "Longitude", "Date", and "Description". The remaining
rows of the CSV file have information for a park.
• You will notice that the description string for a park may contain a comma.
The description for a park can contain the string up to the first comma. If you
want to include the entire description, then you will need to use slicing and
the str.join() function.
o Define the convertDate() function.
• Parameter: dataStr is a string containing the date (YYYY-MM-DD)
• Return value: a string with the date in the following format: Month Day, Year
• For example, let’s say dataStr contains the value "1919-02-26". Return the
string "February 26, 1919".
• Create any variables you need such as a list of month names.
o Define the getLargestPark() function.
• Parameter: parksList is a list of the parks where each park is a dictionary
• Return value: a string that is the park code of the park with the largest area
• Determine the largest park by using the value of the "Acres" key in the
dictionary for each park. If the value was set as a string, then convert to an
integer.
• To get the park code, use the "Code" key in the dictionary for each park.
5. Create a Python file entitled interface.py. In this file, you will define functions that
will be called from other functions in another Python file.
o Import the tasks file in order for the main() function in this file to be able to call
functions in the tasks.py file that you have defined.
o Create the getMenuDict() function.
• Parameters: None
• Return value: a dictionary where the keys are letters for the user to input and
the values are descriptions of the menu options.
• The keys are the following letters: "A", "B", "C", "D", and "Q".
ITP 115 2022-01-04
Page 4 of 21
• The corresponding values are the following strings: "All national parks",
"Parks in a particular state", "The largest park", "Search for a park", and
"Quit".
o Create the displayMenu() function.
• Parameter: menuDict is a dictionary for the menu
• Return value: None
• Print the menu to the user using the menuDict parameter.
• The menu should look like the following:
A -> All national parks
B -> Parks in a particular state
C -> The largest park
D -> Search for a park
Q -> Quit

o Create the getUserChoice() function.
• Parameter: menuDict is a dictionary for the menu
• Return value: a string that is a valid choice entered by the user
• Get input from the user using the following prompt:
Choice: a

• Use the appropriate loop to continue to ask the user for input until they enter
valid input. Allow the user to enter in upper or lower case. The keys in the
menuDict parameter have the valid letters.
Choice: 1
Choice: x
Choice: q

• Make sure to return an uppercase string.
o Create the printAllParks() function.
• Parameter: parksList is a list of the parks where each park is a dictionary
• Return value: None
• Loop through the list and print some information for each park in the
following format:
ITP 115 2022-01-04
Page 5 of 21
Name (Code)
Location: State
Area: Acres acres
Date Established: Month Day, Year

• Here is an example with the first and last park:
Acadia National Park (ACAD)
Location: ME
Area: 47390 acres
Date Established: February 26, 1919

Zion National Park (ZION)
Location: UT
Area: 146598 acres
Date Established: November 19, 1919

• To print the date, use the tasks.convertDate() function.
• You may want to create a function to print one park where the parameter is a
dictionary object for a park.
o Create the getStateAbbr() function.
• Parameters: None
• Return value: a string with a two-letter abbreviation of a state
• Get input from the user for a state. Allow the user to enter upper or lower
case. Here is an example:
Enter a state: ca

• Use an appropriate loop to continue to ask the user for input until they enter
a string that only has two characters. Here is an example:
Enter a state: calif
Need the two letter abbreviation
Enter a state: cal
Need the two letter abbreviation
Enter a state: ca

• You do not need to guarantee that the state is a valid state.
• Return the two-letter abbreviation of a state in upper case.
o Define the printParksInState() function.
ITP 115 2022-01-04
Page 6 of 21
• Parameter: parksList is a list containing parks which are each represented
with a dictionary object
• Return value: None
• Call the getStateAbbr() function to get a state.
• Loop through the parks using the parksList parameter. Check to see if the
state entered by the user is in park using the "State" key. If so, then print
some information for each park in the following format:
Name (Code)
Location: State
Area: Acres acres
Date Established: Month Day, Year

• If there are no parks in the state, then print a message stating that there are
no national parks in that state or that it is not a valid state. Here is an
example:
There are no national parks in AA or it is not a valid state.

o Define the printLargestPark() function.
• Parameter: parksList is a list containing parks which are each represented
with a dictionary object
• Return value: None
• Call the tasks.getLargestPark() function to get the code of the largest park.
• Print information about the park including the description in the following
format:
Name (Code)
Location: State
Area: Acres acres
Date Established: Month Day, Year
Description: Description

• Here is an example:
Wrangell - St Elias National Park and Preserve (WRST)
Location: AK
Area: 8323148 acres
Date Established: December 02, 1980
Description: The largest national park in the system protects ...
ITP 115 2022-01-04
Page 7 of 21

o Define the printParksForSearch() function.
• Parameter: parksList is a list containing parks which are each represented
with a dictionary object
• Return value: None
• Get a search term from the user. Here is an example:
Enter text for searching: cave

• Loop thru the list of parks and check to see if the search text is in the park’s
Code, Name, or Description.
• A park should be printed even if the search text is a different case than in the
park’s information.
• Print information about the park including the description in the following
format:
Name (Code)
Location: State
Area: Acres acres
Date Established: Month Day, Year
Description: Description

• Here is one park that is printed when the search text is 'cave':
Carlsbad Caverns National Park (CAVE)
Location: NM
Area: 46766 acres
Date Established: May 14, 1930
Description: Carlsbad Caverns has 117 caves

• If there are no parks in the state, then print a message stating that there are
no national parks for the search text. Here is an example:
There are no national parks for the search text of 'koala'.

6. Create a Python file entitled main_last_first.py where last is your last/family name
and first is your first name. Use lower case letters. Make sure to add the proper
comment block at the top of the file.
o Import the tasks file in order for the main() function in this file to be able to call
functions in the tasks.py file that you have defined.
ITP 115 2022-01-04
Page 8 of 21
o Import the interface file in order for the main() function in this file to be able to
call functions in the interface.py file that you have defined.
7. Define and call the main() function in your main_last_first.py file.
o Print the following message to the user:
National Parks

o Call the tasks.readParksFile() function to get the list of parks. If your CSV file is
named "national_parks.csv", then you do not need to have an argument. Let the
function use the default value for the file name. The readParksFile() function has
a return value, so make sure to use a variable to hold the list of parks that is
returned. This list is a list of dictionary objects where each dictionary object
holds the information for one national park.
o Call the interface.getMenuDict() function to get the dictionary for the menu.
o Use a loop to display the menu, get the user’s choice, and respond to the user’s
choice while the user does not enter "Q" or "q".
o To display the menu use the interface.displayMenu() function.
o To get input from the user, use the interface.getUserChoice() function.
o Use branching to call the appropriate function in the interface file depending on
the user’s input.
8. Be sure to comment your code. This means that there should be comments at the
top of the files you created as well as throughout your code. Put a comment block
at the top of each Python file. Put a comment block before each function stating the
parameters, return values, and what that function does. Points will be deducted for
not having comments.
9. Follow coding conventions. You should use lowerCamelCase or snake_case for
variable names. You are welcome to create any variables that you need.
10. Test the program. Look at the Sample Output below. Assignments that do not run
are subject to 20% penalty. For the search, your output may be different if you are
only getting the description to the first comma.
11. Prepare your submission:
o Find the project_last_first folder on your computer and compress it. This cannot
be done within PyCharm.
ITP 115 2022-01-04

o On Windows, use File Explorer to select the folder. Right click and select the
Send to -> Compressed (zipped) folder option. This will create a zip file.
o On Mac OS, use Finder to select the folder. Right click and select the Compress
"FolderName" option. This will create a zip file.
12. Upload the zip file to your Blackboard section:
o On Blackboard, navigate to the Final Project item.
o Click on the specific item for the Final Project.
o Click on the Browse Local Files button and select the zip file.
o Click the Submit button.
