This is the first week of Introduction to Computing. I have learnt about Python. The lecturer demonstrated how simple programs works written in python, and allows the user to input a certain range in order to generate random numbers that are located in that range.
The lecturer has taught us how to code simple programs and told us to try to code and run the program ourselves. We have to download multiple programs in order to do that, programs like Python, Java and Eclipse are a must to help us have an easier time developing programs.
I have learnt how to use pip install to help me with my programming. By using xmltodict, I can simply read data from inside a file and write it into a dictionary. Also I will also start doing my individual assignment using the things that I've learnt.
I am now trying to finish my programming assignment, but I'm facing some issues. I am not able to run the program successfully, matplotlib won't generate a bar chart which is required for the assignment. I am also learning about functions so that I will be able to run the program and finish my assignment.
I have solved the problem of not being able to generate the bar chart in my program, and have almost finished my assignment, now I have to do test cases to finish my programming assignment, which the teacher will be teaching next week.
I have learnt how to handle errors in the program and able to finish my assignment. I will be making some changes to make the program more user friendly in the next few weeks as well as finishing the documentation on the assignment.
I have found a group to develop the program for the project, we will be targeting the catering service, since a large portion of the market nowadays are filled by it. Details about the project will be presented in the final report of the project.
