1 Library Management System - A library tracks the books issued to its
users. Each book’s details are stored in a nested list. The library calculates
the late fee based on the following criteria:
 Each day a book is overdue, a fee of $1 is charged.
 Books returned on time incur no late fee.
 A grace period of 3 days is provided before charging the late fee.
 If the book is returned after the grace period, an additional late fee
of $2 per day will be applied for each day beyond 10 days late.
a. Draw a flowchart for calculating the late fee based on the number CO1 1.4.1
of overdue days for books. 2.1.3
b. Develop a program to manage the library system. For each book, CO2 1.3.1
the program should read book_id, book_name, issued_date, 1.4.1
return_date, and calculate the late fee, considering the grace period K3 2.1.2
and additional late charges if applicable.
2.1.3
2.4.1
c. Develop user-defined functions for the following: CO3 2.4.1
 Store the book details (including the late fee) in a nested list 3.2.2
 Add a new book record to the nested list 3.4.2
 Search for a book by its ID and return the book details, including
3.4.3
late fee calculation
 Display all overdue books, calculate the total late fee for each, and
4.1.2
display them 4.2.1
d. Write the names of overdue books to a text file, including the total CO4 4.1.2
late fee for each book. Also, count the total number of books that have 5.2.2
no late fee.

1 Employee Attendance System – A company tracks the attendance of its K3
employees. Each employee’s details are stored in a nested list. The
attendance score is calculated based on:
 Present: 1 point per day
 Absent: 0 points
 Late: 0.5 points per day
 Half-day attendance: 0.75 points
The program also calculates the monthly attendance percentage:
 If the percentage is ≥ 90%, an "Excellent" rating is assigned.
 If the percentage is 75–89%, a "Good" rating is assigned.
 If the percentage is < 75%, a "Needs Improvement" rating is
assigned.
a. Draw a flowchart for calculating the attendance score of employees CO1 1.4.1
based on daily attendance data. 2.1.3
b. Develop a program to manage the attendance of N employees. For CO2 1.3.1
each employee, the program should read employee_id, 1.4.1
employee_name, and their daily attendance data (Present, Absent, 2.1.2
Late, Half-day) for each day of the month and calculate the attendance 2.1.3
score. The program should also compute the monthly attendance 2.4.1
percentage and assign a rating.
c. Develop user-defined functions for the following: CO3 2.4.1
 Store the employee details (including the monthly score and 3.2.2
rating) in a nested list 3.4.2
 Add a new employee record to the nested list
3.4.3
 Search for an employee by ID and return the attendance details,
including rating 4.1.2
 Display employees with "Excellent" ratings 4.2.1
d. Write the names of employees with "Needs Improvement" ratings CO4 4.1.2
to a text file and count the total number of employees with "Good" 5.2.2
 ratings.

1 Gym Membership System - A gym tracks the memberships of its clients. K3
Each membership’s details are stored in a nested list. The membership
status is tracked as:
 Active
 Expired
The gym also offers a premium membership, which includes access to
special classes and gym equipment:
 Premium members pay an additional $20 per month.
 Members who have been inactive for more than 3 months are
upgraded to "Inactive" status.
The program calculates the total membership fee for each client based on:
 Regular membership: $30/month
 Premium membership: $50/month
 Inactive status: No access to gym services, but they still pay the
regular fee

a. Draw a flowchart for calculating the membership status based on CO1 1.4.1
the renewal status. 2.1.3
b. Develop a program to manage the gym memberships of N clients. CO2 1.3.1
For each client, the program should read member_id, member_name, 1.4.1
membership_type, last_activity_date, and renewal_status, and 2.1.2
calculate the total fee. 2.1.3
2.4.1
c. Develop user-defined functions for the following: CO3 2.4.1
 Store the membership details (including the total fee) in a nested 3.2.2
list 3.4.2
 Add a new membership record to the nested list
3.4.3
 Search for a client by ID and return their membership details
 Display all clients with inactive status and calculate the total fees
4.1.2
for those clients 4.2.1

d. Write the names of clients with "Premium" membership to a text CO4 4.1.2
 file and count the total number of "Inactive" memberships. 5.2.2

1 Hotel Room Reservation System - A hotel tracks reservations for its
rooms. Each room’s details are stored in a nested list. The program
calculates the total earnings and manages the room status based on the
following criteria:
 Room rates vary by type:
1. Standard: $100/night
2. Deluxe: $200/night
3. Suite: $300/night
 If a reservation is cancelled less than 24 hours before check-in, a
cancellation fee of 50% is applied.
 If a customer books a room for more than 5 nights, a discount of
10% is applied.
a. Draw a flowchart for calculating the reservation status and available CO1 1.4.1
rooms. 2.1.3
b. Develop a program to manage reservations for N rooms. For each CO2 K3 1.3.1
room, the program should read room_id, room_type, booked_nights, 1.4.1
check_in_date, cancellation_status, and calculate the total revenue for 2.1.2
each booking. Update the room's availability status accordingly. 2.1.3
2.4.1
c. Develop user-defined functions for the following: CO3 2.4.1
 Store the room details (including revenue and status) in a nested 3.2.2
list. 3.4.2
 Add a new reservation record to the nested list.
3.4.3

details. 4.1.2
 Display all available rooms with their room type and rates. 4.2.1
d. Write the details of canceled reservations (with revenue impact) to CO4 4.1.2
a text file and count the total number of long-term bookings (more 5.2.2
than 5 nights).
