Assessment 2: Video Inventory Manager.
Object Oriented Programming + CSV Reading

Requirements

• This assessment should be completed using Python.

Challenge

Back in the day, humans would actually leave their homes to go rent a physical video copy of movies (what a strange concept, right?). Blockbuster was the leading video rental company in this era. Today, there is only one Blockbuster location left which is located in Bend, Oregon. We are going to ask you to build a video inventory application for this Blockbuster!

Data Files Provided

We have provided you with two data csv files. customers.csv and inventory.csv.

customer.csv

• id
• account_type
• first_name
• last_name
• current_video_rentals (list of titles separated by '/')

inventory.csv

• id
• title
• rating
• release_year
• copies_available

Data Management

Your Video Inventory Management application should manage the following data:

• Manage customer information:
  • customer id
  • customer account type (sx/px/sf/pf)
    • "sx" = standard account: max 1 rental out at a time
    • "px" = premium account: max 3 rentals out at a time
    • "sf" = standard family account: max 1 rental out at a time AND can not rent any "R" rated movies
    • "pf" = premium family account: max 3 rentals out at a time AND can not rent any "R" rated movies
  • customer first name
  • customer last name
  • current list of video rentals (by title)
• Manage the store's video inventory:
  • video id
  • video title
  • video rating
  • video release year
  • number of copies currently available in-store

Application Features

Your application should allow:

1. Viewing the current video inventory for the store
   • show title and copies_available for each video in the inventory
2. Viewing all customers
   • show customer_id and name for each customer in the store
3. Viewing a customer's current rented videos
   • take in a customer_id from the user and show current rented videos for that customer
   • each title should be listed separately (i.e. not displayed as one string with slashes straight from the CSV file)
4. Adding a new customer
   • a newly created customer should not have any rentals
   • can you prevent duplicate ids from existing?
5. Renting a video out to a customer
   • video by title
   • customer by id
   • IMPORTANT: Customers should be limited based on their account type. Your application should enforce these limitations when attempting to rent a video!
6. Returning a video from a customer
   • customer by id
   • video by title
7. Exiting the application

Be sure to give careful consideration into what data structures & data types (including classes) you might need to use in your application logic.

Your menu should look something like this:

== Welcome to Code Platoon Video! ==
1. View store video inventory
2. View store customers
3. View customer rented videos
4. Add new customer
5. Rent video
6. Return video
7. Exit
