Lab 3: Movie Critic

Task Outline

• Due Date: Friday, September 20, 2019
• Total Points: 10
• In this lab, you must write a Python program that determines the user's interest in seeing a particular movie.

Background Theory

• You interest in a movie depends upon the following two factors:
  1. The price of the movie's ticket, in dollars.
  2. The rating which the movie received, which can be any decimal number from 0 to 5, inclusive.

---

• Your level of interest in a movie is shown by the following indicators:
  • extremely interested
  • very interested
  • moderately interested
  • barely interested
  • completely uninterested

---

• The following are the criteria upon which you make your movie viewing decisions. Hint: Implement these in Python using an if-elif-else code structure.
  1. You like bargains. Any movie that costs less than $5.00 is one that you are extremely interested in viewing, as long as that movie has received 2 or more stars.
  2. You dislike expensive movies. If a movie costs $12.00 or more, then you are completely uninterested in seeing it. However, if that movie happened to recieve 5 stars, then you are barely interested in seeing it.
  3. You enjoy high quality movies. You are very interested in seeing any movie that has a price below $12.00, and is rated greater than 4 stars.
  4. You are moderately interested in seeing any movie which costs between $5.00 and $11.99, as long as those movies received between 2 and 4 stars, inclusive.
  5. You dislike poorly rated movies. Any movie that has received less than 2 stars is one that you are barely interested in seeing, as long as it costs less than $5.00.
  6. If any movie falls outside of the previously mentioned criteria, then you are completely uninterested in seeing it.

• Note that the function selectfilm() returns the variable outcome. You must assign the corresponding interest string to the variable outcome, before it is returned.

Specification

• Write a Python program in the file moviecritic.py that produces an output which corresponds to your particular interest in a certain movie.
• You will write your solution in a function called selectfilm(price, rating) right below the place where it says: YOUR CODE HERE
• When the function call selectfilm(6.5, 3,5) is executed, the output of the program should be: moderately interested

Testing

• Run the file testmoviecritic.py to execute the PyUnit test bench. PyUnit indicates a successful test with an OK output, and an unsuccessful test with a FAIL output.

Submission

• Upload the file moviecritic.py to the Web-CAT automated grading platform.
