Back to the Bank

In a file called bank.py, reimplement Home Federal Savings Bank from Problem Set 1, restructuring your code per the below, wherein value expects a str as input and returns an int, namely 0 if that str starts with “hello”, 20 if that str starts with an “h” (but not “hello”), or 100 otherwise, treating the str case-insensitively. You can assume that the string passed to the value function will not contain any leading spaces. Only main should call print.

def main():
    ...


def value(greeting):
    ...


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Then, in a file called test_bank.py, implement three or more functions that collectively test your implementation of value thoroughly, each of whose names should begin with test_ so that you can execute your tests with:

pytest test_bank.py
Hints
  • Be sure to include
    import bank
    

    or

    from bank import value
    

    atop test_bank.py so that you can call value in your tests.

  • Take care to return, not print, an int in value. Only main should call print.

Before You Begin

Log into cs50.dev, click on your terminal window, and execute cd by itself. You should find that your terminal window’s prompt resembles the below:

$

Next execute

mkdir test_bank

to make a folder called test_bank in your codespace.

Then execute

cd test_bank

to change directories into that folder. You should now see your terminal prompt as test_bank/ $. You can now execute

code test_bank.py

to make a file called test_bank.py where you’ll write your tests.

How to Test

To test your tests, run pytest test_bank.py. Be sure you have a copy of a bank.py file in the same folder. Try to use correct and incorrect versions of bank.py to determine how well your tests spot errors:

  • Ensure you have a correct version of bank.py. Run your tests by executing pytest test_bank.py. pytest should show that all of your tests have passed.
  • Modify the correct version of bank.py, changing the values provided for each greeting. Your program might, for example, mistakenly provide $100 to a customer greeted by “Hello” and $0 to a customer greeted with “What’s up”! Now, run your tests by executing pytest test_bank.py. pytest should show that at least one of your tests has failed.

You can execute the below to check your tests using check50, a program CS50 will use to test your code when you submit. (Now there are tests to test your tests!). Be sure to test your tests yourself and determine which tests are needed to ensure bank.py is checked thoroughly.

check50 cs50/problems/2022/python/tests/bank

Green smilies mean your program has passed a test! Red frownies will indicate your program output something unexpected. Visit the URL that check50 outputs to see the input check50 handed to your program, what output it expected, and what output your program actually gave.

How to Submit

In your terminal, execute the below to submit your work.
