Practical 4

12/04/2024

Suppose you are approached by the Namibia Statistics Agency to develop a census

system that captures the names, ages, addresses of a household and further gives

the total number of people living in that specific house. Provide the solution to

the problem by providing the following:

1. Pseudocode (5 marks)

Pseudocode

1. Start

2. Import necessary libraries:

❖ pandas

❖ openly

3. Define a function `safe input int(prompt)`:

a. Loop indefinitely:

❖ Prompt the user with `prompt` to enter input.

❖ Try to convert the user input to an integer using `int()`.

❖ If successful, return the integer value.

❖ If conversion fails (ValueError), print an error message and continue looping.

4. Define the main function `survey_census()`:

a. Initialize an empty list `households_data` to store household information.

b. Loop indefinitely:
❖ Prompt the user to enter the household name.

❖ Use `safe_input_int()` to get the number of people in the household (`num_people`).

❖ Initialize an empty list `individuals_list` to store individuals' details for the current household

❖ Loop `num_people` times:

A. Prompt the user to enter the person's name.

B. Use `safe_input_int()` to get the person's age.

C. Prompt the user to enter the person's address.

D. Create a dictionary `person_details` with keys:

❖ 'Household Name': household_name

❖ 'Name': person_name

❖ 'Age': person_age

❖ 'Address': person_address

E. Append `person_details` to `individuals_list`.

❖ extend `households_data` with `individuals_list` to include all individuals' data for the current

household.

❖ Prompt the user if they want to add another household.

- If response is 'no', exit the loop.

❖ Convert `households_data` to a DataFrame `df` using pandas.

❖ Prompt the user to enter the file name (without extension) to save data.

❖ Add `.xlsx` extension to `file_name` if not already provided.

❖ Save `df` to an Excel file named `file_name.xlsx` using `df.to_excel()`.

❖ Print a success message indicating that data has been saved.

5.Call `survey_census()` to execute the survey.

6. End

2. Flowchart (6 marks)
3. Python source code (7 marks)

import pandas as pd

safe_input_int(prompt):
while True:
user_input = input(prompt)
try:
value = int(user_input)
return value except
ValueError:
print("Error: Please enter a valid integer.")

survey_census():
households_data = []
while
True:
household_name = input("Enter household name: ") num_people =
safe_input_int("Enter number of people in the household: ")

individuals_list = []
for j in range(1,
num_people + 1):
person_name = input(f"Enter name of person {j}: ")
person_age = safe_input_int(f"Enter age of person {j}: ")
person_address = input(f"Enter address of person {j}: ")

person_details = {
'Household Name': household_name,
'Name': person_name,
'Age': person_age,
'Address': person_address
}
individuals_list.append(person_details)

households_data.extend(individuals_list)
response = input("Do you want to add another household? (yes/no):
").lower()
if response != 'yes':
break

# Convert data to DataFrame df =


pd.DataFrame(households_data)

# Prompt user for file name to save data file_name = input("Enter the file
name to save data: ")
# Append .xlsx extension if not already provided if not
file_name.endswith('.xlsx'):
file_name += '.xlsx'

# Save data to Excel file df.to_excel(file_name, index=False)


print(f"Data saved successfully to {file_name}")

# Call the survey_census function to execute the survey survey_census()
