Payal's Project Update 2

Reflection:

I worked on creating more options for my program in the last couple of days. I did not make as much progress as I had hoped to (or as much as last time). I think I overestimated how much work I would be able to get done in such a short time frame. I was able to get my program running on Cloud 9 which has made working on my program a lot easier. By the next class I hope to have completed all of my options and to have created one (or mulitple) visual data printouts. I also plan to deal with different user errors/inputs when using the program. I originally left “comment code” has a milestone under the “to be scheduled” section; however, I have decided to move that to the section with the milestones I plan to work on next. I decided to do this because I have realized that commenting code is more of an ongoing process–it is easier to comment as you go rather than at the end.

Old Plan:

Milestones I will work on next:

  • [x] create more options for program (since the next class is two days from this one, this will be the primary milestone I work on, the other ones mentioned below will be my focus over the weekend

  • [ ] visual data text printouts

To be scheduled Milestones:

  • [ ] deal with user error –using try/except, or if/elif?

  • [ ] help text –accessible throughout program

  • [ ] comment code

  • [ ] runs without errors

  • [x] format results from each option –well, halfway (I did this for a couple of options, haven’t finished for all.)

Stretch Milestones:

  • [ ] create at least one visual data text printout that is a vertical histogram

  • [x] use Cloud9

  • [ ] compare data from two different csv files at the same time
