Part $1$: Creating objects $($Classes$)$

$1.$ Since there are multiple employees and because the same information needs to be saved and generated for each employee you will need to consider creating a Employee class. UML diagram below shows attributes and methods for the class you are to create

$2.$ Attributes: The class is to be assigned $7$ attributes. See list of attributes in UML diagram above.

$$ The attributes that need to be defined when creating an instance are the empId, first$\_$name $,$ last$\_$name, age, department and salary.

$$ the email attributes will be assigned values via class methods. Further explanation is provided in step $3$ below.

$$ All attributes must be protected.

$3.$ Methods : Make sure you have all necessary methods defined for the created class $(\_\_$init$\_\_,$ getters $,$ setters and $\_\_$repr$\_\_)$

$$ The $\_\_$repr$\_\_$ method is to return a string that references values referenced in ALL the attributes.

$$ The set$\_$email method is to be used to assign a value to the email attribute.

i$.$ It$$s to be automatically triggered$/$called when a new instance is created.

ii$.$ It requires the employee$$s last and first name as arguments.

iii. It generates the email by adding last$\_$name$+.+$first$\_$name$+$@abc$\_$company.com$)$

iv$.$ It returns the email it generated

For instance $,$ if the employees first and last name is $$Oscar Wilde$.$

The email that should be generated would be as following wilde.oscar@abc$\_$company.com

$$ Make sure getters are created for all attributes.

$4.$ Save the class in a file named employeeInfo.py

Part $2$: Create the program

$$ Create a menu driven program that does the following.

$$ First it displays the Menu shown below

$--------------$Menu$-----------------------------------$

$1)$ Read Employee Info and Create Class Objects$/$Instances

$2)$ Add a New Employee Record

$3)$ Update Employee Information

$4)$ Search for Employee by Last Name

$5)$ Search for Employee by Id

$6)$ Generate Report

$7)$ Exit

$---------------------------------------------------------$

$$ After displaying the menu, the program is to ask the user to enter their choice.

$4\mathrm{.}1$ If the user choose $1$:

$1.$ The program to call a read$\_$file$()$ function.

$$ The read$\_$file$()$ function reads the content of the $$employees$.$csv$$ file, one row at a time. As it reads each row $,$ it$$s to do the following:

$$ Read each piece of information into a variable $($ ex last name into a variable,...$)$

$$ Create an Employee instance for each record$/$row

$$ As instances are created, save them in a list

$$ The function is to return a list that contains the objects$/$instances that were created.

Note that when creating instances, six arguments should be passed $($ employee id$,$ first name $,$ last name $,$ age, department and salary $)$

$4\mathrm{.}2$ If the user chooses $2$:

$1.$ Call the read$\_$file$()$ function

$$ Before adding a new employee $,$ we need to check if the employee already exists. To do that however, the employee instances must have been created.

$$ Because instance will only be created if user chooses option $1$ when they first run the program $,$ we need to make sure instances are created regardless of option user chooses first. You will therefore need to call the read$\_$file$()$ function here so that instances are created.

$2.$ Ask the user to enter the employee Id$.$

$3.$ Iterate over the list of objects that the read$\_$file$()$ function returned and check if the employee id the user entered already exists.

$-$ if it exists $,$ display a message that tells the user the employee already exists and can$$t be added

$-$ if it doesn$$t exist $($not found$),$ move on to step $4$

$4.$ Ask user to enter the following

a$.$ Employee$$s id

b$.$ Employee$$s last name

c$.$ Employee$$s first name

d$.$ Employee$$s age

e$.$ The department the employee will work in

f$.$ The employee$$s salary

$5.$ Create an Employee instance.

$6.$ Append new instance to the list of objects the read$\_$file$()$ function returned.

$4\mathrm{.}3$ If the user chooses $3$:

$1.$ Call the read$\_$file$()$ function

$$ Before updating employee information $,$ we need to check if the employee already exists. To do that however, employee instances must have been created.

$$ Because instance will only be created if user chooses option $1$ when they first run the program $,$ we need to make sure instances are created regardless of option user chooses first. You will therefore need to call the read$\_$file$()$ function here so that instances are created.

$2.$ Ask the user to enter the employee Id$.$

$3.$ Iterate over the list of objects that the read$\_$file$()$ function returned and check if the employee id the user entered already exists.

$-$ if it doesn$$t exist $,$ display a message that notifies the user that employee doesn$$t exist

$-$ if the employee id
