Question $1$

Use a feature class of your own and write a Python program $($using arcpy$)$ to print out the following information for all the fields: name,

type, length, and, if the field is float $($Single or Double$),$ scale and precision. Hint: we used the name of each field in the tutorial already.

You must use

for this exercise. There are more properties in the field, and you can use the help function, such

as help$($fields$[0]),$ to see how to use them, or you can see more information about field here $G.$ Submit your code in $.$py and include the

result of the printout as comments.

Question $2$

In QGIS, if we load the same shapefile twice, the two layers will share exactly the same name in the Layers panel. Write a Python

program to first test if there are duplicated layer names in the panel. If there are duplicated layer names, the program should post a log

message $($something like "There are duplicated layer names and I will fix this!"$)$ and then systematically change the duplicated names so

they are unique. One simple way to do this is to add a number to the end of an existing name. For example, if we have two appearances

of

$,$ we will change them to

and public$\_$library$\_$shp $2.$ But you can come up with your own ways to

address this issue. There might be multiple cases of duplicated names and the program should be able to change their names accordingly.

For example, if we have two layers called

and three layers called

$,$ we should change them

to

$,$ public$\_$library$\_$shp $2,$ county$\_$boundary $1,$

$,$ and

county$\_$boundary $3,$ respectively. After you are

done, push a message $($like "I am done!"$)$ to the message bar. Make sure the message bar lasts for $6$ seconds.

Submit your code in a $.$py file and then a screenshot of QGIS showing the result of running your program with the log message. The

following shows how the code works. If we have layers listed like something on the left, our code should change it to something like the

one on the right.
