Look inside
The real estate developer you’ve worked with previously is so pleased with your work that they’ve asked you to write a new program that allows them to zero in on specific data in sorted reports. Their ultimate goal is to determine what kinds of homes fall into different ranges of interest. Using Python, the csv library, and a custom ADT (that you’ll design), you’ll implement multiple distinct search algorithms as you create a program that allows your client to run many queries— and be fast and efficient, despite the large size of the dataset.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
Manning author Kyle Dewey talks about his liveProject Series.
book resources
When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
prerequisites
The liveProject is for people with basic familiarity with Python and programming, comparable to a single introductory course at the college level. To begin these liveProjects you will need to be familiar with the following:
TOOLS- Intermediate Python
- Object-oriented programming (defining classes and methods, using inheritance, creating objects)
you will learn
In this liveProject, you’ll learn about binary search trees (BSTs) as well as the distinction between unbalanced and balanced BSTs, and you’ll see firsthand the impact that a data’s representation has on efficiently searching through it.
- Design an ADT that abstracts over a dataset
- Implement this ADT for sorted and unsorted Python lists, as well as balanced and unbalanced binary search trees
- Implement a routine to search through the data
- Use provided unit tests throughout the project to check the correctness of your code
