CS21 Lab 8: Country Class Documentation

These are the method functions of the Country Class:

the Constructor

The constructor creates a new Country object.

Country(name, co2_vals, pop_1960, pop_2020, gdp_1960, gdp_2020):
"""
Creates a new Country object with passed values:

  name: the name of the country (str)
  CO2_vals: list of 5 CO2 emission values for 1960, 1980, 2000, 2020, 2022
            (list of float)
  pop_1960: 1960 population in Millions (float)
  pop_2020: 2020 population in Millions (float)
  gdp_1960: 1960 GDP in Billions of US dollars (float)
  gdp_2020: 2020 GDP in Billions of US dollars (float)
"""

An example call:

co2_list = [13.0868, 31.777, 42.11, 41.231, 40.808]

nor = Country("Norway", co2_list, 3.581239, 5.379475, 5.163271598, 362.1983184)

getCO2(year)

Gets the country’s CO2 emissions level for a given year.

getCO2(year):
"""
Get the country's CO2 emission level for the passed year

year: an int value (should be one of 1960, 1980, 2000, 2020, or 2022)
returns: returns the countries CO2 emission level for the passed year
         returns -1 if the country has no reported level for that year
         returns -2 if the passed year is invalid
"""

An example call:
```
val = nor.getCO2(1980)
```

getGDP(year)

Gets the country’s GDP for a given year.

getGDP(year):
"""
Get the country's GDP in the passed year

year: one of 1960 or 2020 (int)
returns: the GDP value of the passed year (float)
         or returns -2 if the passed year in invalid
"""

An example call:
```
gdp = nor.getGDP(2020)
```

getName()

Get the country’s name.

getName():
"""
Get the country's Name

returns: the name of the country (str)
"""

An example call:
```
name = nor.getName()
```

getPopulation(year)

Get the country’s Population for a given year.

getPopulation(year):

"""
Get the country's population in the passed year

year: one of 1960 or 2020 (int)
returns: the population value of the passed year (float)
         or returns -2 if the passed year in invalid
"""

An example call:
```
pop = nor.getPopulation(1960)
```

print a Country object

To print out information about a Country object call the print function passing it a Country object.

An example call:

print(nor)

This call would result in the following output:
