Python Programming------

You will be creating a menu-driven application that maintains a list of employees.

Create 6 functions and a main program that calls them:

Step 1: Use your FUNCTION called createMenu to allow the main program to show the menu for Employee Maintenance. Reminder – the createMenu function accepts TWO parameters: menuHeading (a string) and optionList (a list of strings) and should NOT PRINT ANYTHING – it simply RETURNS a string.

Step 2: Create FUNCTION “stubs” for each of the four menu items – the stubs should just print a message about what the function will eventually do.   Most of these functions will accept one parameter (the list). The addEmployee function is already done for you, as shown below:

def addEmployee(empList ):
        “””Description: this function will ask the user for employee information (last name)
              and place that name into the empList.
             Precondition: empList is a list of strings
        “””
        print(“ Not implemented yet – will eventually add an employee to the list ”)

Create an addEmployee function – just include one print statement in the function for now

Create a printEmployeeList function – just include one print statement in the function for now

Create a deleteEmployee function – just include one print statement in the function for now

Create a sortEmployeeList function – just include one print statement in the function for now

Step 3: Create the “main” program area, where the application continues to print the menu and
calls your getValidChoice function to obtain a choice from the user.

Based on the user’s choice, call the appropriate function.

Step 4: When the user selects 5 (exit), print a message thanking them for using the application and ask them to press enter to quit.

Employee Maintenance 1) Add a New Employee 2) Print Employee Roster 3) Delete an Employee 4) Sort List by Last Name 5) Exit. Please choose an item from the menu by typing its number

def getValidChoice():
   input = 0;
   while(True):
       print "1. Add new Employee"
       print "2. Print Employee Roster"
       print "3. Delete a Employee"
       print "4. Sort the list by Last name"
       print "5. Quit"
       input = int(raw_input("Enter Your choice:"))
       if(input>0 and input <6):
           break
       else:
           print "Invalid Input"
           continue
   return input
      
class Employee:
   def __init__(self, lname):
       self.lastname = lname
      
   def __lt__(self, other):
return self.lastname < other.lastname
         
   def __repr__(self):
       return self.lastname
         
   def getLastName(self):
       return self.lastname
      
def addEmployee(list):
   lname = raw_input("Enter Last Name:")
   emp = Employee(lname)
   list.append(emp)

def printEmployeeList(list):
   for emp in list:
       print emp
      
def deleteEmployee(list):
   lname = raw_input("Enter Last Name:")
   emptemp = Employee("")
   for emp in list:
       if(emp.getLastName() == lname):
           emptemp = emp
           break;
   list.remove(emptemp)
  
def sortEmployeeList(list):
   list.sort();
   for emp in list:
       print emp
  
def main():
   list = []
   quit = False
   while(quit != True):
       choice = getValidChoice()
       if(choice == 1):
           addEmployee(list)
          
       if(choice == 2):
           printEmployeeList(list)
      
       if(choice == 3):
           deleteEmployee(list)
          
       if(choice == 4):
           sortEmployeeList(list)
          
       if(choice == 5):
           quit = True
           break
      
main()
