2. Instruction
This assignment requires you to create an e-commerce system which allows customers to
login to the system, perform some shopping operations like purchasing products, viewing
order history and showing user consumption reports. Besides, admin users need to be
created to manage the whole system, who are able to create/delete/view customers,
products and all the orders. Except for the management part, admin users can view the
statistical figures about this system. Since the whole system is executed in the command line
system, it is better to design a well-formatted interface and always show proper messages to
guide users to use your system. In this assignment, we use the open source data from
data.world, which contains 9 files of products. All the product's data should be retrieved
from these files.
In this assignment, we are going to decouple the relationship between various classes. As
you can see from the image below, we have four main parts and when using the system, end
users only need to interact with the IOInterface class. The Main Control class handles the
main business logic. The operation classes use the model classes as templates to manipulate
the data reading/writing. With this design pattern, the input() and print() functions only
exist in the I/O interface class. No other classes have these functions. The file
reading/writing operations happen in the operation classes, which simulate the database
activities.
All the Operation classes should not contain __init__() and __str__() methods. All the
methods declared in the operation class can be static. However, for simplicity, we still
implement them as normal class methods. When you use these methods, simply declare an
empty operation class object and use the object to invoke methods.

2.12. Main File
In this file, you will construct the main control logic for the application(e.g. main() function).
The design and implementation is up to you but must include the menu items outlined in
section 2.11.2, section 2.11.3, and section 2.11.4 using the classes and methods
implemented.
You must ensure that your menu and control logic handles exceptions appropriately.
You can break down your code to several functions if you wish but you need to call the
extra-defined functions in the main function. In the if __name__==”__main__” part, only call
main() function. Your tutor will only run your main.py file.
For each operation that the user performs, try to give enough instructional messages.
For all the tasks above, you can change the class/function/variables name to follow your
own naming conventions. It is allowed to add more class variables, methods in classes and
functions in the main file. However, you need to make sure all the required methods and
functions are implemented. Any unused code in your application will receive mark penalties.
Besides, since there could be many file reading/writing operations, you can decide to
read/write files in each operation or save the reading/writing content into temporary
variables. Only need to make sure all the data is persisted into files and no data loss. Do not
add extra classes/files.
2.13. User Manual
It is required to provide user instructions saved into a file named
userManual_{studentid}.pdf which describes how to use your application. In your pdf, list
all the commands used to reach the tasks listed in section 2.11.2, section 2.11.3, and section
2.11.4. Your marker will follow your manual to test all the functions. Make sure you have
also demoed the special cases like user enrollment failure if the unit capacity is reached.
Please do not show too much content in this document. No more than 5 pages.

● DO NOT use absolute paths and follow the exact structure for the path as provided in
the examples in each section. All the path issues that cause your program crash
or exception will lead to no mark for functionality.
● You must implement all required methods but you may add additional methods if
you require.
● Please make sure your file reading/writing operations include encoding type utf8.
Changing the application running environment could cause issues if you do not have
the encoding type. Any character encoding issues/exceptions will cause serious mark
deduction.
● If one method is not working and it hinders the program from continuing running to
show other functionalities, the following functionalities will get no mark. For
example, if your system cannot login, the functionality that needs to be marked after
login will get no mark and you will only get marks for the menu part. Therefore, it is
important to finish the methods one by one and make sure they can work properly.
● If any exception/errors happen when running your program, you will lose 50% of
allocated function logic marks. For example, if the main menu function returns any
error, then the maximum mark you can get is 5% instead of 10% in the function logic.
● Add correct validation and output messages to make your code more user-friendly to
users.
● The assignment must be done using the Pycharm, Python Version 3.9.
● The Python code for this assignment must be implemented according to the PEP
8-Style Guide for Python Code.
3 e.g.: The original mark was 70/100, submitting 2 days late results in 50/100 (20 mark
deduction). This includes weekends and public holidays.

● The allowed libraries are random, math, os, string, time, numpy, pandas, matplotlib,
re. You will not receive marks for the components if you use any other libraries apart
from the mentioned library.
● In this assignment, it is required to add as many validation codes as you can to make
sure your system always works. Any exception that happens in your system will lead
to a mark deduction.
● All the Model classes and Operation classes should not contain any input/output
operations, such as print()/input().
● Commenting on your code is an essential part of the assessment criteria. In addition
to inline and function commenting on your code, you should include comments at
the beginning of your program file which specify your name, Student ID, the creation
date, and the last modified date of the program, as well as a high-level description of
the program.
● This assignment cannot be completed in a few days and requires students to apply
what we learn each week as we move closer to the submission date. Please
remember to show your progress weekly to your tutor.
● You must keep up to date with the Moodle Ed Assignment 3 forum where further
clarifications may be posted (this forum is to be treated as your client).
● Please be careful to ensure you do not publicly post anything which includes your
reasoning, logic or any part of your work to this forum, doing so violates Monash
plagiarism/ collusion rules and has significant academic penalties. Use private posts
or email your allocated tutor to raise questions that may reveal part of your
reasoning or solution.
● In this Assessments, you must NOT use generative artificial intelligence (AI) to
generate any materials or content in relation to the assessment task.

4. Submission Requirements
The assignment must be submitted by Friday, 9 June 2023, 4:30 PM (AEDT).
The following files are to be submitted and must exist in your FITGITLab server repo:
● 12 .py files (i.e., {model}.py, {operation}.py, and main.py).
o A template, A3_student_template.zip, is available on the Moodle
Assessments page. You have to use this template.
● A userManual_{studentid}.pdf file.
The above files must be compressed to a .zip file named ass3_{studentid}.zip and submitted
via Moodle.
The .py files must also have been pushed to your FIT GitLab server repo with an appropriate
history as you developed your solutions. Please ensure your committed comments are
meaningful. Do NOT need to push the history of userManual_{studentid}.pdf file to the FIT
GitLab server. Only push the final version of PDF file. DO NOT push the .zip file.
● No submissions will be accepted via email,
● Please note we cannot mark any work on the GitLab Server, you need to ensure that
you submit correctly via Moodle since it is only in this process that you complete the
required student declaration without which work cannot be assessed.
● It is your responsibility to ENSURE that the submitted files are the correct files. We
strongly recommend after uploading a submission, and prior to actually submitting in
Moodle, that you download the submission and double-check its contents.
● Please carefully read the documentation under the “Special Consideration” and
"Assignment Task Submission" on the Moodle Assessments page which covers things
such as extensions, correct submission, and resubmission.
● Please note, if you need to resubmit, you cannot depend on your tutors' availability,
for this reason, please be VERY CAREFUL with your submission. It is strongly
recommended that you submit several hours before due to avoid such issues.
● Marks will be deducted for any of these requirements that are not strictly complied
with.

5. Academic Integrity
Students are expected to be familiar with the University Academic Integrity Policy and are
particularly reminded of the following:
Section 1.9:
Students are responsible for their own good academic practice and must:
● undertake their studies and research responsibly and with honesty and integrity;
● credit the work of others and seek permission to use that work where required;
● not plagiarise, cheat or falsify their work;
● ensure that their work is not falsified;
● not resubmit any assessment they have previously submitted, without the
permission of the chief examiner; appropriately acknowledge the work of others;
● take reasonable steps to ensure that other students are unable to copy or misuse
their work; and
● be aware of and comply with University regulations, policies and procedures relating
to academic integrity.
and Section 2.9:
Unauthorised distribution of course-related materials: Students are not permitted to share,
sell or pass on to another person or entity external to Monash:
2.9.1 any course material produced by Monash University (such as lecture slides, lecture
recordings, class handouts, assessment requirements, examination questions; excluding
Handbook entries) as this is a breach of the Copyright Compliance Policy and such conduct
may be a copyright law infringement subject to legal action; or
2.9.2 any course-related material produced by students themselves or other students (such
as class notes, past assignments), nor to receive such material, without the permission of
the chief examiner. The penalties for breaches of academic misconduct include
● a zero mark for the assessment task
● a zero mark for the unit
● suspension from the course
● exclusion from the University.
Where a penalty or disciplinary action is applied, the outcome is recorded and kept for seven
years, or for 15 years if the penalty was excluded.
