[SOLVED] Cop3502c lab 7: the cow says…

This lab is designed to introduce students to the Bash Command Line Interface (CLI) and the concept of CLI
arguments and give them practice writing classes. The cowsay utility is a popular Unix program from the 20th
century (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowsay).You will write a slightly simplified cowsay program that
takes in several arguments and prints out different text depending on the arguments.Tools
Please note that you are strongly recommended to use a text editor and the terminal to edit and run your
program and its directories. It is advised students learn/review basic Unix shell commands before beginning; a
good run-through can be found here: https://linuxjourney.com/lesson/the-shell. You are also allowed to use
PyCharm and its terminal to write and run your program.Follow these steps to get started on the lab:
1. Open a terminal and enter the pwd command to identify the path to the working (current) directory (folder)
2. Enter ls to list the contents of the current directory
3. Use the mkdir command to make a new directory called CowLab.
4. Use ls to see the change, then cd to change to the directory CowLab.
5. Do your lab work in that folder. Use your google skills to find more commands.You can read more information about some of these commands here:
https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/42980/the-beginners-guide-to-nano-the-linux-command-line-text-editor/
https://pythonbasics.org/execute-python-scripts/Students will write two files: a driver file with a main() entry point (cowsay) and a data class (cow). Note that
heifer_generator.py is provided for you; your code must use this class to create the cow objects.Provided For Students – HeiferGenerator
get_cows()
Static method which returns a Python list of cow objects from the built-in data set. This will use the Cow
constructor and image property of the cow class to properly initialize new cow objects uniquely for each data
set. This means it is dependent on your Cow class, so you should write that before working on main!
cowsay.py (Program Driver)Your program must accept command line arguments. Command line arguments are captured as part of the argv
variable found in the sys module. This can be accessed with sys.argv after you import sys (Review lecture
slides for examples!).The command line arguments that must be supported are as follows (use python command for Windows and
python3 for mac):
python cowsay.py -l Lists the available cows
python cowsay.py MESSAGE Prints out the MESSAGE using the default COW
python cowsay.py -n COW MESSAGE Prints out the MESSAGE using the specified COW
If a user calls for a cow that does not exist, the program should print out “Could not find [COWNAME] cow!”
Output SamplesSuggested Functions
The following functions are suggested to make development easier, but are not required:
list_cows(cows)
Displays the available cows from a Python list of Cow objects.
find_cow(name, cows)
Given a name and a Python list of Cow objects, return the Cow object with the specified name. If no such Cow
object can be found, return None.Cow Class
The Cow class facilitates the creation and use of cow objects by providing the following methods (which students
must implement):
__init__(self, name)
Initializes a cow object with name and image to be None
get_name(self)Returns the name of the cow. Note: the name property should NOT have a setter.
get_image(self)
Returns the image used to display the cow (this should be called after the message has been displayed).
set_image(self, image)
Sets the image used to display the cow.Submissions
NOTE: Your output must match the example output *exactly*. If it does not, you will not receive full credit for
your submission!
