Stopped working on section 2023.8.25 Within Unit 2, lab_scatter, I used the top-down method for planning_scatter.md, transform.py writing code to transform data with function, and build the scatter plot. I'm requesting assistance to complete several sections within transform.py and scatterplot.py files. Checkpoint 1 I believe I could write about a quarter or small segments of the code for the scatterplot.py, but would not be able to complete it without guidance from an instructor. The top-down method to break down the process of the scatterplot into small blocks was straight forward when thinking, planning, and writing it out. Honestly, I wouldn't know how to begin the scatterplot program without additional information and instruction from the instructor. It's abstract and frustrating. I don't have the background experience using Python. Checkpoint 2 From 2.1, minimum to 2.4, clamp, I understood how to and code the simple functions with transforming data. From 2.5, ratio to the end, 2.8, get_y_values, I was confused and lost. I felt the information provided was minimal, my perspective only. I could look back to the beginning information to use some of the strategies, but unable to complete these sections. I rewatched the videos and searched within Discord to see what issues if any my colleagues were faced with. There was little information online about transforming data with functions using def statements with only a return and not printing. More examples and explanation needed to be provided to better understand what was expected. Checkpoint 3 The program scatterplot.py is incomplete with the following: Find the scaled y-position for the point. Use draw_point(scaled_x, scaled_y, color, size) to draw the point. Also, it won't run correctly because transform.py file is incomplete. Sections 2.5, ratio to the end, 2.8, get_y_values I understood the scatterplot.py and how the data from the other files was imported into this program file. From Checkpoint 1, I would have still used the same format and structure. You could create programs to visualize data such at charts and diagrams. |
