Assignment 2Semester 2, 2013
Introduction
This assignment requires you to work with some lists and to
explore some common algorithms. You will be working with a
list of bank records which contain details of individual bank
customers and their accounts.
You will be required to provide a hardcopy of a written report
(a word document) with some of your answers. You will also be
required to hand the whole assignment (both code and reports)
in electronic form.
Task A
Download the files bank.txt and assignment2.py. The file
bank.txt is the input file for the program. It consists of a
number of lines of text, each with five fields. These fields are:
· The customer’s first name
· The customer’s last name
· The customer’s account number
· The account type (savings, credit or cheque)
· The account balance
Assignment2.py already has some functionality added – ignore
that for the moment.
For each of the following functions provide the expected inputs,
outputs and pseudocode in your report (note: you will probably
find the assignment easier if you do this BEFORE you do your
coding)

2. a) Write a new function (called readInputFileIntoList) which
will read the file bank.txt and place individual customer records
into a list (effectively a ‘list of lists’). The function should NOT
take the bank list as a parameter. It should return the bank list
via its return statement.
You may not assume that you know how many records are in the
input file – it must work for any number of lines.
For each line in the input file you should create an individual
list with five elements (listed above). Use the ‘split’ function to
help you with this. Once you have created this list, add it to the
bank list. The result of executing readInputFileInfoList should
be a list of bank records – one for each line in the file.
b) Write a function called ‘printIndividualRecord’. It should
take a list (corresponding to a single bank record) as a
parameter. If the record is
Bruce Willis 123313 savings 405.00
the function should print out the details of the record in the
following format
Bruce Willis has a savings account with account no: 123313
There is $405.00 in this account.
c) Write a function called ‘printAllRecords’, which calls
printIndividualRecord for each record in the bank list. It should
take the bank list as a parameter.
Task B

3. Examine the functions already authored in assignment2.py.
· swap
· maxListByItem
In the code, write a high-level description of what each of these
functions is intended to do as a comment above the function
code. This description should be no longer than five lines.
Marks will be awarded according to how well your response
reflects your understanding.
Task C
Examine the function ‘sortListUsingSelectionSort’ that has been
written in assignment2.py. This function is not complete. Use
the functions from task B to complete the implementation of
this function. Note – it should not be necessary to move (change
the order of) or delete the code that is already there. When
complete the function should have sorted the list in descending
order (biggest item first).
In the code (not the report) add a brief comment (1 or 2 lines
maximum) to each line to explain how the line contributes to
the implementation of the selection sort.
Also add a comment above the function to describe to someone
else who might want to use it at a later time. This comment
should be no longer than 5 lines.
Marks for the comments will be awarded according to how well
they reflect your understanding of the code.
Task D
Write functions to perform the following tasks. Each function
should be properly commented, use well-chosen identifier
names and have appropriate parameters and any other good
programming practices.

4. 1) Write a function, called ‘sortAccountTypeLastName’ that
sorts the list by the account type. If account types are the same,
sort the list by last name. You can use either insertion sort or
bubble sort for this function. The original list should be passed
in as a parameter. This list should be copied into a second list
which should be sorted and returned by the function.
2) Write a function, called ‘printListToFile’, that will write the
details of a list to a file called ‘bank.out’. The format for the
output file should be the same as the input file. In other words,
it should be possible to use ‘bank.out’ as input to the program.
3) Write a function, called ‘addInterest’ that charges 10%
interest to each account with a negative account balance. Other
account balances should remain unchanged.
4) Write a function, called ‘binarySearch’, implements a binary
search. This function should take three parameters.
a. the target (the value that you are looking for)
b. the field being searched(eg account type, account balance
etc.).
c. the list itself
If the target is found, return the index value where it was found.
Otherwise the function should return -1.
5) Write a function, called ‘sortAnyTwoFields’ which performs
a similar task to ‘sortAccountTypeLastName’ but which is more
general. This function should have three parameters
a. field1 – the first field to be sorted on
b. field2 – the field to be sorted on if the values of field1 are
equal
c. bList – the bank list

5. The original list should be passed in as a parameter. This list
should be copied into a second list which should be sorted and
returned by the function. For example
sortAnyTwoFields (CUSTOMER_LAST_NAME,
CUSTOMER_ACCOUNT_BALANCE, bankList)
will sort by the customer’s last name. If the last names are the
same, then the list is sorted by account balance.

Assignment 3 instructions
Objective of the assignment: The objective of this assignment
is to allow you to demonstrate your knowledge of the steps
required to recruit and staff for an important segment of the
workplace and to demonstrate your strategic skills to the CEO.
You will share some of the essential strategic and
administrative steps for this important function of Human
Resources and will include metrics for which to evaluate the
recruitment and selection approach that will be implemented.
The situation: Suppose that you are the new HR Director at HSS
(the case study presented in our Course Resources under
modules) and you have already made a presentation to the CEO
and the Board of Directors on the need for HR planning and and
enhanced strategic role that HR must play in the organization.
After that presentation, and having read the research on
managing human resources strategically that you have presented
(assignment 2 literature review), the CEO confides that she has
been thinking about how the senior staff in the organization are
recruited and selected. As a result, she has asked you to propose

16. new recruitment and selection methods for the senior level
employees.
Deliverable:
The CEO's directive to you is to prepare a short (approximately
five-page double spaced) proposal that includes at the least:
1. A cover memo to the CEO providing an overview of the task
assigned and a summary of your proposal
2. A description of at least three recruitment approaches that
could be considered
3. A description of at least three selection approaches that
could be considered
4. A cost/benefit analysis and comparison of the approaches of
both the recruitment and selection approached
5. Metrics the organization could use to evaluate the
effectiveness of the on-going recruitment and selection of
senior level employees. Propose at least three metrics for the
evaluation (include the time frame for your evaluation period
such as six months after entry into the position).
6. Your recommended approach and your
arguments/justification to defend your choices.
7. A conclusion section that includes a summary of the
approaches recommended, the benefits and any other aspects to
the proposal you want to highlight.
Notes: Use topic headings to organization your presentation,
include in-text citations for statements of fact, and provide a
reference page if in text citations are used in the proposal, use
professional level language and writing.
