Re: Need help on a project To :"Create a class called BankAccount with the following parameters "

[malitician]

you are absolutely correct Mark 
i'm a beginner in python and  from the original question and test case given 
above i wrote this 



class BankAccount(object):
def __init__(self, initial_balance=0):
self.balance = initial_balance
def deposit(self, amount):
self.balance +=amount
def withdraw(self, amount):
self.balance -= amount
my_account = BankAccount(90)
my_account.withdraw(1000)
if my_account.balance < 4:
print('invalid transaction')
class MinimumBalanceAccount(BankAccount):
def __init__(self, MinimumBalance=4):
self.minbalance = MinimumBalance





after executing this i got this  TEST SOLUTION ERROR which i don't know what it 
means





{"finished": true, "success": [{"fullName": "test_balance", "passedSpecNumber": 
1}, {"fullName": "test_deposit", "passedSpecNumber": 2}, {"fullName": 
"test_sub_class", "passedSpecNumber": 3}, {"fullName": "test_withdraw", 
"passedSpecNumber": 4}], "passed": false, "started": true, "failures": 
[{"failedSpecNumber": 1, "fullName": "test_invalid_operation", 
"failedExpectations": [{"message": "Failure in line 23, in 
test_invalid_operation\nself.assertEqual(self.my_account.withdraw(1000), 
\"invalid transaction\", msg='Invalid transaction')\nAssertionError: Invalid 
transaction\n"}]}], "specs": {"count": 5, "pendingCount": 0, "time": 
"0.65"}}
-910
invalid transaction



SO please what is wrong with my code, does it not meet the requirement of the 
"test case" given above in the question? 
Thanks in advance

you are right chris
it is a homework, but we are to figure out the solution first , all we need is 
some guidance please and not to be spoon fed like many thought 


in case anybody missed the question here is it 





>Create a class called BankAccount

>Create a constructor that takes in an integer and assigns this to a `balance` 
>property.

>Create a method called `deposit` that takes in cash deposit amount and updates 
>the balance accordingly.

>Create a method called `withdraw` that takes in cash withdrawal amount and 
>updates the balance accordingly. if amount is greater than balance return 
>`"invalid transaction"`

>Create a subclass MinimumBalanceAccount of the BankAccount class



and there is a unittest that evaluate our code to check if we got it right ( i 
believe) and here  it is below








import unittest
class AccountBalanceTestCases(unittest.TestCase):
  def setUp(self):
self.my_account = BankAccount(90)

  def test_balance(self):
self.assertEqual(self.my_account.balance, 90, msg='Account Balance Invalid')

  def test_deposit(self):
self.my_account.deposit(90)
self.assertEqual(self.my_account.balance, 180, msg='Deposit method 
inaccurate')

  def test_withdraw(self):
self.my_account.withdraw(40)
self.assertEqual(self.my_account.balance, 50, msg='Withdraw method 
inaccurate')

  def test_invalid_operation(self):
self.assertEqual(self.my_account.withdraw(1000), "invalid transaction", 
msg='Invalid transaction')
  
  def test_sub_class(self):
self.assertTrue(issubclass(MinimumBalanceAccount, BankAccount), msg='No 
true subclass of BankAccount')




and i come up with this code which i believe i'm 80 percent correct




class BankAccount:
def __init__(self, initial_amount):
self.balance = initial_amount
def deposit(self, amount):
self.balance += amount
def withdraw(self, amount):
if self.balance>= amount:
self.balance  -=  amount
else:
  print('invalid transaction')

a1 = BankAccount (90)
a1.deposit(90)
a1.withdraw(40)
a1.withdraw(1000)
class MinimumBalanceAccount(BankAccount):
def __init__(self):
BankAccount.__init__(self)






but i kept getting this error from the unittest





{"finished": true, "success": [{"fullName": "test_balance", "passedSpecNumber": 
1}, {"fullName": "test_deposit", "passedSpecNumber": 2}, {"fullName": 
"test_sub_class", "passedSpecNumber": 3}, {"fullName": "test_withdraw", 
"passedSpecNumber": 4}], "passed": false, "started": true, "failures": 
[{"failedSpecNumber": 1, "fullName": "test_invalid_operation", 
"failedExpectations": [{"message": "Failure in line 23, in 
test_invalid_operation\nself.assertEqual(self.my_account.withdraw(1000), 
\"invalid transaction\", msg='Invalid transaction')\nAssertionError: Invalid 
transaction\n"}]}], "specs": {"count": 5, "pendingCount": 0, "time": 
"0.80"}}
invalid transaction
invalid transaction





its like this part of the unittest explains my error  




[{"message": "Failure in line 23, in test_invalid_operation\n
self.assertEqual(self.my_account.withdraw(1000), \"invalid transaction\", 
msg='Invalid transaction')\nAssertionError: Invalid transaction\n"}]}], 
"specs": {"count": 5, "pendingCount": 0, "time": "0.80"}}



but i dont know what it means or where i have gone wrong in my code
and for that need help on Create a subclass MinimumBalanceAccount of the 
BankAccount class

i believe the last three lines of my code answered your question.
i believe someone can help me with my problem.
Thanks in advance

I am now more confused than before, as beginners like we have stated
earlier, how does this solution applies to the real question ( bank
account )

you and others here saved my days , instead of "RETURN" i have been using 
"PRINT". i never knew the differences earlier . Problem solved , thanks for 
having guys like all of you here. I'm just a week old into python programming 
and i have learned a lot   .Merry xmas
