Lab 9

Introduction:

In this lab, you will practice fixing problems with a class and using dictionaries to store and use information.

Tracking Company Operations

You have been hired by a company that tracks the operations for various companies. They have hired you to design their program to make it modular. While some of the code is already written for you, the programmer who wrote it made some lazy mistakes. You have been tasked with fixing a few bugs that the company has found in the programmer's code.

The original programmer had been asked to design a class that represents a company. This class must keep track of:

• the company's name
• the company's address
• the number of all employees working at the company
• a list of all of the company's employees

The programmer wrote this code that represents employees and companies: company.py. Identify and fix the problems with this code. Here is a simple test program that might help you find some of the problems (there may be other problems not revealed by the program): lab09_test.py

For each problem you fix, explain why it was a problem in your assignment information sheet.

In addition to fixing the problems with the classes, create properties for the employee's name, address, and employee number; and for the company's address and employee count. At least one property must be constant.

Time Conversion

On the programming part of the midterm, the first question asked you to convert between different measures of time. The program description is shown below. Implement this program using a dictionary.
