Python Homework - Py Me Up, Charlie

PYBANK EXERCISE

it first imports the needed libraries

it then creates the needed integers, strings, dictionaries and lists

Next, it creates the path to collect data from the Resources folder, opens it and reads it in

After reading the first row as a header, it loops through the data to get:

The net total amount of "Profit/Losses" from month-to-month over the entire period

find the current row value and the difference and then store the current value as the previous value

The greatest increase in profits (date and amount) over the entire period

The greatest decrease in losses (date and amount) over the entire period

The total number of months included in the dataset

The average of the changes in "Profit/Losses" over the entire period

It then prints the summary to the screen and creates the text file with the same summary

PYPOLL EXERCISE

it first imports the needed libraries.

it then creates the needed integers, strings, dictionaries and lists.

Next, it creates the path to collect data from the Resources folder, opens it and reads it in.

After reading the first row as a header, it loops through the data to get:

A complete list of candidates who received votes

the number of candidates

The total number of votes each candidate won

every time it come across a new name not already in dictionary, it adds a new key for the candidates name

othewise, if they are in the dictionary, it increases their vote count by one

After that, it loops through the values and converts them to percent

It then creates a list of the votes and a list of the candidates

It next finds the maximum num of votes and the index for the winner based on the maximum number of votes

Finally, it prints the summary to the screen and creates the text file with the same summary
