Project 12-2: Bird Counter
Help me make a Python program for birdwatchers that stores a list of birds along with a count of the
number of times each bird has been spotted.


Console
Bird Counter program

Enter 'x' to exit

Enter name of bird: red-tailed hawk
Enter name of bird: killdeer
Enter name of bird: snowy plover
Enter name of bird: western gull
Enter name of bird: killdeer
Enter name of bird: western gull
Enter name of bird: x

Name Count
=============== ===============
Killdeer 2
Red-Tailed Hawk 1
Snowy Plover 1
Western Gull 2


Specifications
 Use a dictionary to store the list of sighted birds and the count of the number of times
each bird was sighted.
 Use the pickle module to read the dictionary from a file when the program starts and
to write the dictionary to a file when the program ends. That way, the data that's
entered by the user isn't lost.

Sagot :

The program based on the information given is illustrated below.

How to illustrate the program?

It should be noted that a computer program is a set of instructions in a programming language for the computer to execute.

Based on the information, the program is illustrated thus:

Code:

import pickle

#function to read birds data

def readBirdsData():

try:

birdsFile = open("birdsData","rb")

birdWatcher = pickle.load(birdsFile)

birdsFile.close()

birdWatcher ={}

except EOFError:

birdWatcher ={}

return birdWatcher

#function to write the data into file using pickle

def writeBirdsData(birdWatcher):

if birdWatcher == {} :

return

sorted(birdWatcher)

birdsFile = open("birdsData","ab")

pickle.dump(birdWatcher,birdsFile)

birdsFile.close()

#function to display birds data in sorted order

def displayBirdsData(birdWatcher):

print("Name\t\tCount")

print("========\t===========")

for key in sorted(birdWatcher.keys()):

print("{}\t\t{}".format(key,birdWatcher[key]))

#main function

def main():

birdWatcher = readBirdsData()

print("Bird Counter Program")

print ("\nEnter 'x' to exit\n")

name = input("Enter name of bird: ")

while True:

#break the loop if x is entered

if name == 'x':

#if the name exists in dictionary then increase the value

if the name in birdWatcher.keys():

birdWatcher[name] = birdWatcher[name] + 1

else:

#dd it otherwise

birdWatcher[name] = 1

name = input("Enter name of bird: ")

displayBirdsData(birdWatcher)

writeBirdsData(birdWatcher)

#driver code

if __nam__ == '__main__':

main()
