Prompt Overview

“`python
import uuid
class Account:
“””Class representing a user account.”””
def __init__(self, name, email):
self.account_id = str(uuid.uuid4()) # Generate a unique account ID
self.name = name
self.email = email
self.balance = 0.0 # Default balance
class AccountManager:
“””Class to manage user accounts.”””
def __init__(self):
self.accounts = {} # Dictionary to store accounts by account_id
def create_account(self, name, email):
“””Creates a new account with a unique ID and default balance.”””
account = Account(name, email)
self.accounts[account.account_id] = account
return account.account_id
def update_account(self, account_id, name=None, email=None):
“””Updates the name and/or email of the specified account.”””
if account_id not in self.accounts:
raise ValueError(“Account ID does not exist.”)
account = self.accounts[account_id]
if name:
account.name = name
if email:
account.email = email
def view_account(self, account_id):
“””Returns the account details.”””
if account_id not in self.accounts:
raise ValueError(“Account ID does not exist.”)
account = self.accounts[account_id]
return {
“account_id”: account.account_id,
“name”: account.name,
“email”: account.email,
“balance”: account.balance
}
def delete_account(self, account_id):
“””Deletes the account identified by the given ID.”””
if account_id not in self.accounts:
raise ValueError(“Account ID does not exist.”)
del self.accounts[account_id]

Demonstration of the AccountManager functionality

if __name__ == “__main__”:
# Initialize account manager
account_manager = AccountManager()
# Create accounts
acc_id1 = account_manager.create_account(“Alice Smith”, “alice@example.com”)
acc_id2 = account_manager.create_account(“Bob Jones”, “bob@example.com”)
# Update an account
account_manager.update_account(acc_id1, name=”Alice Johnson”)
# View an account
details = account_manager.view_account(acc_id1)
print(details) # Output account details
# Delete an account
account_manager.delete_account(acc_id2)
# Attempt to view deleted account (should raise an error)
try:
account_manager.view_account(acc_id2)
except ValueError as e:
print(e) # Output error message
