Logical drawing

lab_loyalty.py on the original list
    fields collected 10; not needed for any stated purpose 5 (50%)
two-week form
    five names, a different object
        |
        +-- 10 minus 5 is arithmetic, not a new execution
        +-- the five rejected names stay the finding about the first file
        +-- the script's collected list is not edited

Learning outcomes

After this chapter, you should be able to:

Keep the published ten-field output as the count of that file.
Reject a replacement print of five collected and none unneeded.
Leave the program's list of names unchanged.

6.1 The form changed. The first file did not.

The two-week sign-up asks for five names. That is a check of a later form. The script's print describes the synthetic list of ten names, five of which sit in no purpose set: phone, postcode, prescription items, gender and the location trail. A classmate replaces the lab note with "fields collected 5; not needed 0". Subtracting the rejected names from ten does not execute the program again. Sofia keeps the published lines. If someone runs the script on a new list, that run gets its own line. This lesson does not perform that run, and it does not delete names from collected.

6.2 Worked example

Lesson table; scroll horizontally to read all columns →

Proposed lab note	What was actually run	Decision
"10 collected; 5 not needed (50%)."	The published file	Keep it
"5 collected; 0 not needed."	No new execution	Refuse
"Phone is needed now because the form once had it."	The first file marked phone NOT NEEDED	Refuse
Edit `collected` so the next print is shorter	A change to the teaching file	Refuse

Synthetic case. The lines fields collected 10 and not needed for any stated purpose 5 (50%) stay the published run.

Errors and limits

A later form can still fail, which Chapter 18 takes up if a rejected name reappears. This chapter does not claim the five-field form is lawful for every purpose.

Apply

EX060 — Do not replace the print. Someone writes "this month: 5 fields collected and 0 not needed" because the sign-up form was shortened. What is wrong with both numbers, and which print remains the verified one?
Show marking criteria
Rubric: 3 = neither 5 collected nor 0 unneeded was the published run; the verified print is still 10 collected and 5 not needed, 50 percent; do not edit the script;; 2 = reject the new pair and keep the published print;; 1 = one number;; 0 = none.
