Question

PYTHON

(A voting machine consists of an election district, together with the names of the candidates and the number of votes cast for each candidate.

Define a VotingMachine class, wrote a docstring for the class, and define the following three class methods:

1. An initialization method. The initialization method should:

* take a string parameter, electionDistrict, and assign it to the instance attribute elctionDistrict of the voting machine being created.

* create an instance attribute named candidates for the voting machine being created and initialize it to the empty dictionary. Each key in candidates will be a candidate and the corresponding value will be the number of votes the candidate receives.

2. A method named castVote. This method castVote should take a string parameter, candidate. The method castVote should update the candidates dictionary by incrementing the vote for each candidate by one. The method castVote should add candidate as a key if it is not present.

3. A method named getVoteCount. This method should return the sum of votes cast for all candidates in the election district.)

Assume that correct code for the class votingMachine has been saved in a file named voting_machine.py. Write a code that uses the class and method definitions to perform the following tasks:

1. import the module that defines the class votingmachine

2. create a voting machine for an election district named Gotham City

3. cast one vote for Hamilton Hill and another for Arthur Reeves in Gotham City election district

4. print out the Gotham City election district vote count

#python code

#voting_machine.py

class VotingMachine:
    def __init__(self, electionDistrict):
        self.electionDistrict = electionDistrict
        self.candidates = {}

    def castVote(self, candidate):
        if candidate in self.candidates:
            self.candidates[candidate] += 1
        else:
            self.candidates[candidate] = 1


    def getVoteCount(self):
        sum = 0
        for key in self.candidates:
            sum += self.candidates[key]
        return sum

#==========================

#Main.py

import voting_machine
v = voting_machine.VotingMachine("Gotham City")
v.castVote("Hamilton Hill")
v.castVote("Arthur Reeves")

print("Gotham City election district vote count: ", v.getVoteCount())
