To create a program for managing an online streaming service's inventory of shows, we can design a structured set of classes that encapsulate the various entities involved. Here are two main classes and several subclasses that can help us manage the inventory effectively.
Main Classes
-
Show
- This class represents a generic show, which can be either a series or a movie. It includes attributes and methods common to all shows.
Attributes:
title: A string indicating the title of the show.release_year: An integer representing the year the show was released.genre: A list of strings representing the genres of the show (e.g., Drama, Comedy).duration: An integer representing the total duration (in minutes) for movies or seasons.rating: A float indicating the average rating of the show (e.g., between 0.0 and 10.0).description: A string summarizing the show's premise.
Methods:
get_details(): Returns detailed information about the show.update_rating(new_rating): Updates the average rating based on viewer feedback.
-
Inventory
- This class manages the collection of shows available on the streaming service. It allows for adding, removing, and searching for shows.
Attributes:
shows: A list that holds instances of theShowclass or its subclasses.
Methods:
add_show(show): Adds a new show to the inventory.remove_show(show_title): Removes a show from the inventory by its title.search_show(title): Searches for and returns a show based on its title.list_shows(): Lists all the shows currently in the inventory.
Subclasses of Show
-
Series(Show)
- Represents a television series or web series.
Additional Attributes:
seasons: An integer indicating the total number of seasons.episodes_per_season: A list of integers, each representing the number of episodes in each season.
Additional Methods:
get_season_details(season_number): Returns details about a specified season.
-
Movie(Show)
- Represents a standalone movie.
Additional Attributes:
director: A string representing the director of the movie.cast: A list of strings representing the main cast members.language: A string indicating the primary language of the movie.
Additional Methods:
get_cast(): Returns a list of the main cast members.
-
Documentary(Show)
- Represents a documentary film or series.
Additional Attributes:
producer: A string indicating the producer of the documentary.subject: A string indicating the main subject or theme of the documentary.
Additional Methods:
get_producer(): Returns the name of the producer.
Example Implementation
Here's a basic implementation of the classes described above:
class Show:
def __init__(self, title, release_year, genre, duration, rating, description):
self.title = title
self.release_year = release_year
self.genre = genre
self.duration = duration
self.rating = rating
self.description = description
def get_details(self):
return {
'Title': self.title,
'Release Year': self.release_year,
'Genre': self.genre,
'Duration': self.duration,
'Rating': self.rating,
'Description': self.description
}
def update_rating(self, new_rating):
# Update the average rating logic could be improved
self.rating = new_rating
class Series(Show):
def __init__(self, title, release_year, genre, duration, rating, description, seasons, episodes_per_season):
super().__init__(title, release_year, genre, duration, rating, description)
self.seasons = seasons
self.episodes_per_season = episodes_per_season
def get_season_details(self, season_number):
if 0 < season_number <= self.seasons:
return self.episodes_per_season[season_number - 1]
else:
return "Season not found."
class Movie(Show):
def __init__(self, title, release_year, genre, duration, rating, description, director, cast, language):
super().__init__(title, release_year, genre, duration, rating, description)
self.director = director
self.cast = cast
self.language = language
def get_cast(self):
return self.cast
class Documentary(Show):
def __init__(self, title, release_year, genre, duration, rating, description, producer, subject):
super().__init__(title, release_year, genre, duration, rating, description)
self.producer = producer
self.subject = subject
def get_producer(self):
return self.producer
class Inventory:
def __init__(self):
self.shows = []
def add_show(self, show):
self.shows.append(show)
def remove_show(self, show_title):
self.shows = [show for show in self.shows if show.title != show_title]
def search_show(self, title):
for show in self.shows:
if show.title == title:
return show.get_details()
return "Show not found."
def list_shows(self):
return [show.get_details() for show in self.shows]
# Example usage
inventory = Inventory()
movie = Movie("Inception", 2010, ["Sci-Fi", "Action"], 148, 8.8, "A thief who steals corporate secrets...", "Christopher Nolan", ["Leonardo DiCaprio", "Joseph Gordon-Levitt"], "English")
series = Series("Breaking Bad", 2008, ["Drama", "Crime"], 49, 9.5, "A chemistry teacher turned methamphetamine producer.", 5, [7, 13, 13, 10, 16])
documentary = Documentary("Our Planet", 2019, ["Documentary"], 408, 9.3, "A visually stunning series exploring the natural world.", "Alastair Fothergill", "Nature Conservation")
inventory.add_show(movie)
inventory.add_show(series)
inventory.add_show(documentary)
print(inventory.list_shows())
This implementation creates a structured and organized way to manage the streaming inventory, allowing the online streaming service to effectively track and manage its shows.
