Step-by-Step Approach
1. Initial Setup:
Start with the
existing remitly_currency_manager.py file.
Ensure the required data structures for currency rates,
transaction fees, and regional currency sets are in place.
2. Currency Rate Analysis:
1. For Loop for Threshold Analysis:
o Iterate through the exchange_rates dictionary
containing currency rates.
o Inside the loop, identify and store currencies with
rates above or below specific thresholds.
2. Nested Loop for Comparative Analysis:
o Use a nested loop to compare each currency's rate
against all other currencies.
o Find the highest and lowest relative rates.
o Store and print the comparison results.
3. Transaction Fee Calculator:
1. Using Range Function:
o Create a loop using range(100, 1001, 100) to
calculate fees for transfer amounts from 100 to
1000.
2. Control Statements (Continue/Break):
o Use continue to skip calculations that don't meet
certain criteria (e.g., if the fee exceeds a maximum
limit).
o Use break to exit the loop early if a condition is
met (e.g., reaching a fee threshold).
4. Currency Conversion Table:
1. Input and Initial Setup:
o Prompt the user to select a base currency.
2. Nested Loop for Table Generation:
o Use an outer loop to iterate through amounts
in range(100, 1001, 100).
o Use an inner loop to convert the base currency into
each available currency using the exchange rates.
5. Regional Currency Report:
1. Iterating through Regions:
o Create a list of sets for each
region: european_currencies, asian_currencies
, north_american_currencies.
2. Generating Reports:
o Use a nested loop to iterate through each region
and then through each currency in that region.
o Handle missing data or special cases
using continue or break statements as needed.
6. Integration into Menu System:
1. Updating the Menu:
o Add new menu options for each new feature.
2. Handling User Selections:
o Implement if-elif blocks for each new menu
option to call the relevant feature functions.
7. Loop Control and Range Function:
Ensure the use of break and continue statements to
enhance loop logic and efficiency.
Incorporate the range function in at least one loop
implementation to generate sequences for calculations.
8. Error Handling and Edge Cases:
Include necessary checks and error handling within the
loops to ensure robustness.
Consider edge cases, such as missing currency data or
invalid user inputs.
9. Commenting and Documentation:
Add comments explaining the purpose and functionality of
each loop and control statement.
Ensure that the code is well-commented for readability
and maintainability.
10. Testing and Validation:
Thoroughly test each new feature separately.
Validate the combined functionality by running test cases
covering different scenarios and edge cases.
Submission:
Commit the changes to your GitHub repository.
Ensure your code is organized, and all the new features
are integrated properly with the existing system.
By following these steps, you can efficiently enhance the Remitly
Currency Manager with the specified features while ensuring an
optimized and robust solution suitable for competitive
programming test cases.
