UofT-DSI | Python - Assignment 2

What changes are you trying to make? (e.g. Adding or removing code, refactoring existing code, adding reports)

I added code to read data from csv files, complete the patient_summary function with basic mathematical operations, and complete the detect_problems function by combining multiple functions together!

What did you learn from the changes you have made?

I have learned about defining functions, reading/writing to files, use of if/elif/else statements, and the for loop!

Was there another approach you were thinking about making? If so, what approach(es) were you thinking of?

I struggled in the very last question with detect_problems function. I was thinking about if i could parse out all of these functions, instead of nested functions within one another -- even though this is extremely efficient.

Were there any challenges? If so, what issue(s) did you face? How did you overcome it?

The main challenge I had was in reading the CSV files, making sure I had the correct files paths so that VS code could read it. I made sure to specify the directories precisely!

How were these changes tested?

I ran each cell block seperately ensuring they match the assignment recommended outputs

Hi Evan,

✅ You implemented the function to read and display a file 💬.
✅ You completed the patient_summary() function to summarize a file.
✅ You implemented the detect_problems() function to check the file.

💬 You read the file content into the variable f with f.readlines(). Since f was defined as the file handler, you reused the same name for a different purpose. While Python didn’t complain or show an error, we usually use different variable names to improve clarity and avoid potential confusion.

🎉 Your A2 is complete!

Thanks,
Tianyi [LS]
