Project $3$ Username Generator with Dup Checker and User Input $-100$ points possible

Project Requirements

Name of program file: username$\_$generator$\_$dup$\_$checker.py

Description of program: This program will test your new decision and iterate logic both in the input

section and processing section. This program will take your username

generator project and improve on it$.$ This program will ask the end user $3$

questions, what is your first name, what is your last name, what year were

you born. This input will need to be validated and while loops used to force

the end user to enter the correct data. This input will replace the lists we

used in week $2.$ You will populate those lists with the user input.

The second major change will be the use of if else logic to correct the

duplicate username problem. Last week we used a set function to simple

remove any duplicates from the username list. This week you will test for

duplicate usernames and if found, alter the username to avoid duplicates.

Program Requirements: The program MUST follow the input, process, output model

described in the syllabus video and the introduction to

programming pdf$.$ You MUST follow the structure outlined or

you will lose points.

This program will need the import statements for username

and today$$s date.

This program must have a flower box comment section with

your name, date created, and description of the program

$($FYI: Not My Description from Above$)$

This project will modify and enhance project $2.$

Input section:

Instead of using static list and the zip$()$ method, you will

receive input from the end user $($again this is you, LOL$).$

You will take that information and apply it to a list with

the elements being tuples.

You will ask for user input with the following question:

$$ What is your first name?

$$ What is your last name?

$$ What year were you born?

Your program should ask the end user for at least $5$ employees

and include at least $2$ employees that will cause a duplicate

username that your new logic will correct.

You will need to validate the data as to length.

First and Last Name should be at least a length of $2.$

Year of birth should be a length of $4$ but can remain a

string.

After each employee has entered their first name, last name

and year of birth, you should display that information back

out to the employee and ask them to confirm the information.

If the employee answers Yes then update the employee data

list with the information. If the employee answers No then

clear the input variables and ask the questions again.

After your program receives information on $5$ employees, you

will terminate the input process.

Process section:

With in a for in loop do the following:

$1.$ Use that information to create employee usernames in

the following format: first initial last name year of

birth i$.$e$.$ Dale Fontenot $1963=$ dfontenot$63$

$2.$ Use if else logic to test the new username to make sure

it does not exist in the current username list. If it

is a duplicate, do not append the username list but

build a new username using the employee$$s first name

$($all lower case$)$ and the first initial of the last name

and then the year of birth, ie dalef$63.$ After building

the new username, append the username list with it$.$ If

no duplicate is found, append the username to the

username list.

$3.$ Store the usernames in a list

$4.$ Store the combined employee information in a dictionary

with the username as the key and a tuple with first

name, last name, year of birth.

Make a copy of the username list without a copy loop and then

sort that copy.

Output section:

You must then output the following information in this order:

Username

Today$$s Date

Employee Data list that you used to gather user input

Username list with all usernames

Employee data dictionary

Username list that has been sorted
