Build an Email Simulator - Step 45

Python
1

Tell us what’s happening:

I have tried every possible way and it doesn’t pass. It is on the step 45 where I’m supposed to show confirmation that the email was sent. It is even working with the test I have put it through.

Your code so far

import datetime

class Email:
    def __init__(self, sender, receiver, subject, body):
        self.sender = sender
        self.receiver = receiver
        self.subject = subject
        self.body = body
        self.timestamp = datetime.datetime.now()
        self.read = False

    def mark_as_read(self):
        self.read = True

    def display_full_email(self):
        self.mark_as_read()
        print('\n--- Email ---')
        print(f'From: {self.sender.name}')
        print(f'To: {self.receiver.name}')
        print(f'Subject: {self.subject}')
        print(f"Received: {self.timestamp.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')}")
        print(f'Body: {self.body}')
        print('------------\n')

    def __str__(self):
        status = 'Read' if self.read else 'Unread'
        return f"[{status}] From: {self.sender.name} | Subject: {self.subject} | Time: {self.timestamp.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M')}"

class User:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
        self.inbox = Inbox()


# User Editable Region

    def send_email(self, receiver, subject, body):
        email = Email(sender=self, receiver=receiver, subject=subject, body=body)
        receiver.inbox.receive_email(email)
        print(f"Email sent from [{email.sender.name}] to [{email.receiver.name}]!\n")


# User Editable Region


class Inbox:
    def __init__(self):
        self.emails = []

    def receive_email(self, email):
        self.emails.append(email)

    def list_emails(self):
        if not self.emails:
            print('Your inbox is empty.\n')
            return
        print('\nYour Emails:')
        for i, email in enumerate(self.emails, start=1):
            print(f'{i}. {email}')

    def read_email(self, index):
        if not self.emails:
            print('Inbox is empty.\n')
            return
        actual_index = index - 1
        if actual_index < 0 or actual_index >= len(self.emails):
            print('Invalid email number.\n')
            return
        self.emails[actual_index].display_full_email()

    def delete_email(self, index):
        if not self.emails:
            print('Inbox is empty.\n')
            return
        actual_index = index - 1
        if actual_index < 0 or actual_index >= len(self.emails):
            print('Invalid email number.\n')
            return
        del self.emails[actual_index]
        print('Email deleted.\n')
alice = User("Alice")
bob = User("Bob")

alice.send_email(bob, "Hello", "This is a test")

Hi,

In your send_email, if you take a close look, you have self which is the sender and receiver. All you have to do is print out their names. Also, the [] are given in the example and you don’t need to print them out.

Good luck!

With this finally passed. Thank you!

It’s not encouraged to write the solution code. I’d remove it before it gets removed by mods.

Good luck on the project!
