This worksheet focuses on regular expressions, software licensing, and testing with pytest.
The main resources to refer to for this worksheet are:
(Lecture videos are not linked on worksheets, but are also useful to review while working on worksheets. Video links can be found in the course course Blackboard site.)
In each part, if a description is given, write a regular expression to match it. It a regular expression is given, write a description of what it matches.
Matches the string fact, optionally followed by an underscore and another word consisting of latin alphabet letters, followed by a pair of parentheses with an integer between them. No spaces are permitted anywhere.
fact(_[A-Za-z]+)?\(\d+\)
Discussion: We use \( or \) to match an actual parenthesis** as opposed to ( and ) which create groups.
Matches fact_recursive(5) or fact(15) or fact_iterative(0), but does not match fact() or fact_ (2) or fact_recursive( 67 ).
(xx)+x([yz][yz])*
Matches an odd number of xs, requiring at least three to be present, followed by an even number of letters that are all y or z. It is permissible to not have any y or z there at all.
Discussion: This would match xxxzy or xxxxx or xxxzzyyzy but not x or xyz or xxxxyy. Note that the highlighter on pythex.org will highlight the first match it finds, and ignore any other match that overlaps with it. So if you test this expression with string xxxxyz, it will highlight the initial xxx match, even though there is also xxxyz later in the string which matches as well (but overlaps the first one).
Match the recommended style for Python variable names: A string consisting of lower case letters, underscores, and digits, and which doesn't start with a digit or underscore.
For example, all of these should match:
number_of_angry_pandasdraft91final_modifiediresAnd NONE of these should match:
_whatever5november오징어AbstractJavaCourseFactoryM[Mm]on(day)?|[Tt]ue(s(day)?)?|[Ww]ed(nesday)|[Tt]hu(r(s(day)?)?)?|[Ff]ri(day)
(Hint: the intent is probably clear; but what's going on with all the nested parentheses and question marks? Does Thusday match? Does Thur? Why or why not?)
Match a Canadian postcode, which consists of a capital letter, a digit, a capital letter, a space, a digit, a capital letter, and another digit.
e.g. K8N 5W6 and V8K 2S0 match while A8K2L3 and K8n 5W6 and 1N2 S74 and ASK DAD do not match.
\(\s*[0-9]+(\s*,\s*[0-9]+)\s*\)
geometry module¶Here is a link to the geometry.py module we developed in a previous lecture. It allows you to represent Circles, Rectangles, and Squares in the plane and to perform some operations on them.
Download this file and save it in its own folder (e.g. geomtesting would be a good name for the folder).
Now, create a file test_geometry.py in the same folder. In that file, create at least 4 functions whose names begin with test_ that perform tests on the classes in test_geometry.py. Running this script with the python interpreter should do nothing, since it should only declare test functions, and should not call them.
In a terminal opened to the same directory containing test_geometry.py, run pytest with
python3 -m pytestand confirm that all of your tests are discovered, and that they all pass.
Examples of suggested tests:
.scale() method of a specific Rectangle you choose for testing purposes gives the same results as what you expect based on computing by hand.Note that the equality test for objects in geometry.py is potentially quite fragile, because it tests floats for equality. One way to avoid problems with floating point error is to choose examples where every value involved (width, height, center coordinates, radius, scale factor, etc.) is actually an integer.
Write a program intcalls.py that takes a filename as a command line argument. It should read the file and look for places where a Python function is called that meet all of the following characteristics:
For each match it finds, the match text and the line number should be printed.
For example, if you run python3 intcalls.py findphone.py where findphone.py is the example program from lecture, the output should be:
Line 8: exit(1)
Line 15: group(1)
Line 16: group(2)
Line 17: group(3)The MIT License is a popular and very permission open-source software license. Find a copy of the MIT License as a text file, and save it in the directory where you are doing your MCS 260 project work under the name LICENSE.txt. Imagine you are applying it to a piece of software you've written. Edit LICENSE.txt to fill in the relevant info. (The license you download is really a template, and has blank spaces for certain things like your name and the date the software was created.)
