Have a program where i have made 2 classes linked to eachother one parent one child to store string inputs the parent takes 4 inputs and the child takes 6 i need to find a way to write the attributes that are the inputs taken from user into a .txt file using the class object made from the user inputs.
#define parent class
class Staff:
def __init__(self, fname, lname, dob, department):
self.fname = fname
self.lname = lname
self.dob = dob
self.department = department
#define print function to print the parent class object
def printsf(self):
print(self.fname, self.lname, self.dob, self.department)
#define child class
class TeachingStaff(Staff):
def __init__(self, fname, lname, dob, department, discipline, licenseNumber):
super().__init__(fname, lname, dob, department)
self.discipline = discipline
self.licenseNumber = licenseNumber
#define print function to print the child class object
def printtsf(self):
print(self.fname, self.lname, self.dob, self.department, self.discipline, self.licenseNumber)
staffDetails = open("staffDetails.txt", "a") # open file for appending
teachingDetails = open("teachingDetails.txt", "a") # open file for appending
loopdobInput = input("Enter the date of birth in the format DD/MM/YYYY:")
loopfnameInput = input("Enter first name:")
looplnameInput = input("Enter last name:")
loopdepartmentInput = input("Enter department name:")
loopdecisionInput = input("Is the staff member a teacher (Y/N?")
if loopdecisionInput == "y" or loopdecisionInput == "Y":
loopdisiplineInput = input("Enter discipline:")
looplicenceInput = input("Enter licence number:")
loopteachingInput = TeachingStaff(loopdobInput, loopfnameInput, looplnameInput, loopdepartmentInput,
loopdisiplineInput, looplicenceInput)
loopteachingstr = str(loopteachingInput)
teachingDetails.write(loopteachingstr)
else:
loopstaffInput = Staff(loopdobInput, loopfnameInput, looplnameInput, loopdepartmentInput)
loopstaffstr = str(loopstaffInput)
staffDetails.write(loopstaffstr)
staffDetails.close()
teachingDetails.close()
In my attempts i tryed to convert the object to str and write to file but this just printed the following for the teachingDetails.txt which is the one i was testing with <main.TeachingStaff object at 0x000001EAE84A1390>. What id like is for it to print the 4 string inputs to text file for staffDetails.txt or 6 string inputs for teachingDetails.txt but unsure how to tackle this.
