Midsemester Survey

Q1: Mid-Semester Feedback

As part of this assignment, fill out the Mid-Semester Feedback form.

Once you finish the survey, you will be presented with a passphrase. Put this passphrase, as a string, on the line that says passphrase = 'REPLACE_THIS_WITH_PASSPHRASE' in the Python file for this assignment. E.g. if the passphrase is abc, then the line should be passphrase = 'abc'.

Q2: Vending Machine

In this question you'll create a vending machine that sells a single product and provides change when needed.

Implement the VendingMachine class, which models a vending machine for one specific product. The methods of a VendingMachine object return strings to describe the machine’s status and operations. Ensure that your output matches exactly with the strings provided in the doctests, including punctuation and spacing.

You may find Python's formatted string literals, or f-strings useful. A quick example:

>>> feeling = 'love'
>>> course = '61A!'
>>> combined_string = f'I {feeling} {course}'
>>> combined_string
'I love 61A!'
class VendingMachine:
    """A vending machine that vends some product for some price.

    >>> v = VendingMachine('candy', 10)
    >>> v.vend()
    'Nothing left to vend. Please restock.'
    >>> v.add_funds(15)
    'Nothing left to vend. Please restock. Here is your $15.'
    >>> v.restock(2)
    'Current candy stock: 2'
    >>> v.vend()
    'Please add $10 more funds.'
    >>> v.add_funds(7)
    'Current balance: $7'
    >>> v.vend()
    'Please add $3 more funds.'
    >>> v.add_funds(5)
    'Current balance: $12'
    >>> v.vend()
    'Here is your candy and $2 change.'
    >>> v.add_funds(10)
    'Current balance: $10'
    >>> v.vend()
    'Here is your candy.'
    >>> v.add_funds(15)
    'Nothing left to vend. Please restock. Here is your $15.'

    >>> w = VendingMachine('soda', 2)
    >>> w.restock(3)
    'Current soda stock: 3'
    >>> w.restock(3)
    'Current soda stock: 6'
    >>> w.add_funds(2)
    'Current balance: $2'
    >>> w.vend()
    'Here is your soda.'
