Concepts

For this project, we expect you to look at this concept:

Never forget a test

Background Context

Important notice on intranet checks for Python projects

Starting from today:

Based on the requirements of each task, you should always write the documentation (module(s) + function(s)) and tests first, before you actually code anything
The intranet checks for Python projects won’t be released before their first deadline, in order for you to focus more on TDD and think about all possible cases
We strongly encourage you to work together on test cases, so that you don’t miss any edge case. But not in the implementation of them!
Don’t trust the user, always think about all possible edge cases

Resources

Read or watch:

doctest — Test interactive Python examples (until “26.2.3.7. Warnings” included)
doctest – Testing through documentation
Unit Tests in Python
Unittest module
Interactive and Non-interactive tests

Learning Objectives

At the end of this project, you are expected to be able to explain to anyone, without the help of Google:

General

Why Python programming is awesome
What’s an interactive test
Why tests are important
How to write Docstrings to create tests
How to write documentation for each module and function
What are the basic option flags to create tests
How to find edge cases

Requirements

Python Scripts

Allowed editors: vi, vim, emacs
All your files will be interpreted/compiled on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS using python3 (version 3.8.5)
All your files should end with a new line
The first line of all your files should be exactly #!/usr/bin/python3
A README.md file at the root of the repo, containing a description of the repository
A README.md file, at the root of the folder of this project, is mandatory
Your code should use the pycodestyle (version 2.8.*)
All your files must be executable
The length of your files will be tested using wc

Python Test Cases

Allowed editors: vi, vim, emacs
All your files should end with a new line
All your test files should be inside a folder tests
All your test files should be text files (extension: .txt)
All your tests should be executed by using this command: python3 -m doctest ./tests/*
All your modules should have a documentation (python3 -c 'print(__import__("my_module").__doc__)')
All your classes should have a documentation (python3 -c 'print(__import__("my_module").MyClass.__doc__)')
All your functions (inside and outside a class) should have a documentation (python3 -c 'print(__import__("my_module").my_function.__doc__)' and python3 -c 'print(__import__("my_module").MyClass.my_function.__doc__)')
A documentation is not a simple word, it’s a real sentence explaining what’s the purpose of the module, class or method (the length of it will be verified)
We strongly encourage you to work together on test cases, so that you don’t miss any edge case

Quiz questions

5. Max integer - Unittest

Since the beginning you have been creating “Interactive tests”. For this exercise, you will add Unittests.

In this task, you will write unittests for the function def max_integer(list=[]):.

Your test file should be inside a folder tests
You have to use the unittest module
Your test file should be python files (extension: .py)
Your test file should be executed by using this command: python3 -m unittest tests.6-max_integer_test
All tests you make must be passable by the function below
We strongly encourage you to work together on test cases, so that you don’t miss any edge case

guillaume@ubuntu:~/0x07$ cat 6-max_integer.py
#!/usr/bin/python3
"""Module to find the max integer in a list
"""


def max_integer(list=[]):
    """Function to find and return the max integer in a list of integers
        If the list is empty, the function returns None
    """
    if len(list) == 0:
        return None
    result = list[0]
    i = 1
    while i < len(list):
        if list[i] > result:
            result = list[i]
        i += 1
    return result

guillaume@ubuntu:~/0x07$
guillaume@ubuntu:~/0x07$ cat 6-main.py
#!/usr/bin/python3
max_integer = __import__('6-max_integer').max_integer

print(max_integer([1, 2, 3, 4]))

6. Matrix multiplication

Write a function that multiplies 2 matrices:

Read: Matrix multiplication - only Matrix product (two matrices)
Prototype: def matrix_mul(m_a, m_b):
m_a and m_b must be validated with these requirements in this order
m_a and m_b must be an list of lists of integers or floats:
- if m_a or m_b is not a list: raise a TypeError exception with the message m_a must be a list or m_b must be a list
- if m_a or m_b is not a list of lists: raise a TypeError exception with the message m_a must be a list of lists or m_b must be a list of lists
- if m_a or m_b is empty (it means: = [] or = [[]]): raise a ValueError exception with the message m_a can't be empty or m_b can't be empty
- if one element of those list of lists is not an integer or a float: raise a TypeError exception with the message m_a should contain only integers or floats or m_b should contain only integers or floats
- if m_a or m_b is not a rectangle (all ‘rows’ should be of the same size): raise a TypeError exception with the message each row of m_a must be of the same size or each row of m_b must be of the same size
If m_a and m_b can’t be multiplied: raise a ValueError exception with the message m_a and m_b can't be multiplied
You are not allowed to import any module

guillaume@ubuntu:~/0x07$ cat 100-main.py

7. Lazy matrix multiplication

Write a function that multiplies 2 matrices by using the module NumPy

To install it: pip3 install numpy==1.15.0

Prototype: def lazy_matrix_mul(m_a, m_b):
Test cases should be the same as 100-matrix_mul but with new exception type/message

guillaume@ubuntu:~/0x07$ cat 101-main.py
#!/usr/bin/python3
lazy_matrix_mul = __import__('101-lazy_matrix_mul').lazy_matrix_mul

print(lazy_matrix_mul([[1, 2], [3, 4]], [[1, 2], [3, 4]]))
