About

In the modern world, data has become so abundant that processing it is no easy business. How can anyone make sense of all those words and numbers? In this project, you will write a program that processes textual and numeric data and sorts it. Your program will be able to determine the largest or most frequent pieces of data and perform the necessary calculations on them. You will practice concepts frequently tested in technical interviews at top tech companies. Data is waiting to be sorted!

Graduate project

This project covers the core topics of the Python Developer course, making it sufficiently challenging to be a proud addition to your portfolio.

At least one graduate project is required to complete the course.

What you'll learn

Once you choose a project, we'll provide you with a study plan that includes all the necessary topics from your course to get it built. Here’s what awaits you:

Start by teaching your program to process numeric data. Feed it some numbers and ask it to determine the largest value and its frequency in the data set.

Data can also be words or phrases, and your program should be able to handle them just as well. Enable your program to process different types of data and determine the greatest/longest input elements, as well as their frequency in the data set.

Start implementing the core part of your program: sorting.

Implement sorting for all types of data and learn how to use Collections to calculate, store, and display the elements’ frequency.

Oh no! Someone is misusing the arguments! Make the program notify users about such errors if they occur.

Make it possible for your program to use files for input and output.

I have learned a lot about argparse and its methods, especially with an undefined number of arguments to process. A good refresher on file manipulations as well.

I have learned working with argparse module, creating Argarser, getting arguments from CLI, verifying it to use it later in program.Next i have learned implementing sorted() method for different type of data.Next, i have learned processing input either from CLI or file.Next, I have learned to out ...
