Question

Before making a dish, we want to check whether we already have the necessary ingredients in our pantry or whether we need to go shopping. For this problem, you will implement a method needed_ingredients for the Pantry class. needed_ingredients takes a list of recipes as its argument and returns a new Pantry containing everything missing from our pantry to make all the recipes in the list. If our pantry already has all the necessary ingredients in the needed quantities, needed_ingredients returns an empty Pantry. There may be repeated recipes in the input list, and the input list may be empty. Hints: Pantry inherits the methods of its superclass, AD, so you can subtract one pantry from another. If you have an AD and need a Pantry, you can simply call the Pantry constructor on the AD.

Answer 1

Answer:

class Pantry(AD):

              def __init__(self, ingredients):

""" We initialize the Pantry class by passing the ingredients that were passed in to the initializer for the superclass AD"""

              super().__init__(ingredients)

              def needed_ingredients(self, recipes):

""" Given a list of recipes, computes which ingredients to buy, and in which quantity to be able to make all recipes. Can be implemented in 10 lines of code."""

              # define the object new_pantry to contain the ingredients needed

               new_pantry = Pantry({})

                ingredients_present = self

                # loop over the recipes in the list

                for recipe in recipes:

                        # convert ingredients of recipe from AD to Pantry

                        ingredients = Pantry(recipe.ingredients)

                        # subtract the recipe's ingredients from ingredients_present

                          ingredients_present = ingredients_present - ingredients

                        # loop over the ingredients_present for key in ingredients_present:

                       # if any ingredients's quantity < 0, add it to new_pantry

                                                           if ingredients_present[key] < 0:

# check if ingredient is present in new_pantry, add the quantity to existing quantity

                                                               if key in new_pantry:

                                            new_pantry[key] += -1*(ingredients_present[key])

else: # if ingredient is not present in new_pantry, make a new entry for the ingredient

                                               new_pantry[key] = -1*(ingredients_present[key])

ingredients_present[key] = 0      # set the quantity of the ingredient in ingredients_present to 0

Explanation:

I believe everything else is provided in the question.

Copy all the details you were provided in the question as it is and add the needed_ingredients in the Pantry class.

If you are getting any assertion error, Update the code to set the negative quantities in ingredients_present to 0
