Additional comments to the Assessor:
PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism is a particular form of cheating. Plagiarism must be avoided at all costs and students who break the
rules, however innocently, may be penalised. It is your responsibility to ensure that you understand correct
referencing practices. As a university level student, you are expected to use appropriate references throughout
and keep carefully detailed notes of all your sources of materials for material you have used in your work,
including any material downloaded from the Internet. Please consult the relevant unit lecturer or your course
tutor if you need any further advice.
Learner declaration
I certify that the work submitted for this assignment is my own. I have clearly referenced any sources used
in the work. I understand that false declaration is a form of malpractice.

Unit 1: Programming
Assignment Brief Number: 1
British Collage of Applied Studies Unit 01: Programming
Scenario
Assuming you as an intern programmer, you are assigned to create a console application to address
the following scenario using Python programming language.
• The application should work after user authentication. You are allowed to use a text (.txt) file
to store the username & password and use it for the purpose of authentication against. To
accomplish this, you are required to create a function to authenticate the user input against
the stored credentials (Username and Password). Name the file that has the function as
authentication.py
• The application should receive daily income and daily expense from the user and store them
separately in two text files. Plan your logic accordingly to distinguish whether the received
input is either income or expense and store them in the respective text file. Name this
python solution as run.py
• Create another python file (name it as summary.py) to produce the summary of income and
expense as follows
o Number of Records in Income file
o Total Income
o Average Income
o Number of Records in Expense file
o Total Expense
o Average Expense
o Any difference by deducting expense from income.
Note: run.py and summary.py should call the function you implemented in authentication.py and
execute the code after successful authentication of username and password from the user.
