Description

The predictor "Pico y Placa" is a program written in Python language that predicts whether a car will be able to circulate on the streets on a date and time specified by the user through the command-line interface (CLI). To develop this application we consider the past rules of the Pico&Placa.

Day	Censored plates
Monday	Plates ending in 1 and 2.
Tuesday	Plates ending in 3 and 4.
Wednesday	Plates ending in 5 and 6.
Thursday	Plates ending in 7 and 8.
Friday	Plates ending in 9 and 0.
Saturday	Free circulation all day.
Sunday	Free circulation all day.

Traffic limitation hours are from 07:00 to 09:30 and from 16:00 to 19:30, from Monday to Friday, according to the last digit of the license plate.

Considerations

Code

• The class Car inside car.py, has all the logical methods of the program. The class is composed of three attributes: license plate, date and time.

• A specific output is presented depending on the inputs of the main.py.

• Also, schedule.py has the methods to convert the date input from string datatype to object datatype and then get the day in string datatype.

• test_car.py is the validator script. Only run it to verify the program.

Python

Please, check if you have Python installed on your machine.

python --version

If not, download and install it.

Technical details

This program was developed on Debian 11 OS with Python 3.9.2 version.

License

The following program is based on Daniel Erazo's Pico y Placa Predictor under MIT License.

Usage

1. Open your CLI and run main.py file from the container directory.

   python main.py

2. Enter only the alphanumeric characters of the license plate.

3. Enter the date in format dd/mm/yyyy.

4. Enter the time in 24 hours format hh:mm.

5. The result of the query is displayed on the screen.
