Expense Management System

Introduction

This Python project consists of two classes, Expense and ExpenseDatabase, that enable the management of financial expenses.

Usage

To use this code:

• Clone the repository to your local machine using the following command:

  git clone https://github.com/bideeen/Alt-school-Fall-Semester-DE-Exams-Hands-on-Project-2023.git
  

Running the Code:

• Ensure you have Python installed on your system.
• Open a terminal or command prompt.
• Run the test script by executing:

python test_expense_app.py

Example Usage

The test_expense_app.py script demonstrates the functionality of the Expense and ExpenseDatabase classes. Below is an example of how you can use these classes in your own code:

from expenseApp import Expense, ExpenseDatabase

# Create instances of Expense and ExpenseDatabase classes
expense1 = Expense("Groceries", 50.00)
expense2 = Expense("Dinner", 75.00)

# Initialize an ExpenseDatabase instance
expense_db = ExpenseDatabase()

# Add expenses to the database
expense_db.add_expense(expense1)
expense_db.add_expense(expense2)

# Retrieve an expense by ID
retrieved_expense = expense_db.get_expense_by_id(expense1.id)

# Print the retrieved expense as a dictionary
print(retrieved_expense.to_dict())  

Note: Feel free to modify, run, and extend the code as needed!
