Challenge
MediumGive the librarian a statistics report. Keep everything you wrote in the previous steps; only library.gd changes.
Write get_statistics() -> Dictionary in Library. It returns a dictionary with five int values:
"total_books": the number of books"available_books": the books whoseavailableistrue"borrowed_books": the books that are lent out"total_users": the number of users"users_with_books": the users who have at least one borrowed book
The supplied code adds the command stats, which prints the five values. For this input:
Community
book The Great Gatsby|F. Scott Fitzgerald|123456
book To Kill a Mockingbird|Harper Lee|789012
book 1984|George Orwell|345678
user U001|Alice
user U002|Bob
user U003|Charlie
borrow 123456|U001
borrow 789012|U001
borrow 345678|U002
statsthe output is:
Book borrowed successfully
Book borrowed successfully
Book borrowed successfully
Total Books: 3
Available Books: 0
Borrowed Books: 3
Total Users: 3
Users with Books: 2Your code goes in book.gd, user.gd and library.gd. main.gd holds the supplied input/output code and cannot be edited.
Try it yourself
extends Node
func _ready():
# Supplied input/output code: keep it as it is
var library := Library.new(OS.read_string_from_stdin())
var line := OS.read_string_from_stdin()
while line != "":
var parts := line.split(" ", true, 1)
var fields: PackedStringArray = parts[1].split("|") if parts.size() > 1 else PackedStringArray()
match parts[0]:
"book":
library.add_book(Book.new(fields[0], fields[1], fields[2]))
"user":
library.add_user(User.new(fields[0], fields[1]))
"borrow":
print(library.borrow_book(fields[0], fields[1]))
"search":
var term: String = parts[1] if parts.size() > 1 else ""
var found: Array = library.search_by_title(term)
print("Results for '%s': %d" % [term, found.size()])
for book in found:
print("- ", book.title, " by ", book.author)
"stats":
var stats: Dictionary = library.get_statistics()
print("Total Books: ", stats["total_books"])
print("Available Books: ", stats["available_books"])
print("Borrowed Books: ", stats["borrowed_books"])
print("Total Users: ", stats["total_users"])
print("Users with Books: ", stats["users_with_books"])
"loans":
var reader: User = library.find_user(fields[0])
print(reader.user_name, " has borrowed:")
for isbn in reader.borrowed_isbns:
print("- ", library.find_book(isbn).title)
"holder":
var book: Book = library.find_book(fields[0])
if book.available:
print(book.title, " is on the shelf")
else:
print(book.title, " is borrowed by ", library.find_user(book.borrower_id).user_name)
"books":
for book in library.books:
print(book)
"users":
for user in library.users:
print(user)
"show":
print(library)
