UofT-DSI | python - Assignment 1

[Chun-YuanChen]

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

I created a simple anagram checker program in Python, written in a .ipynb file and run in VS Code, with personal comments included.

What did you learn from the changes you have made?

In this practice, I learned how to define and write a basic function that includes predefined logic like if and else, and also how to apply some methods.

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

Regarding the anagram checker program, I think there are many possible approaches since the definition of an anagram can be somewhat flexible, for example, whether to consider duplicate letters or not, etc.

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

One challenge I faced was that I am currently an R user, so there are definitely some conventions and rules in Python that are different and need to be memorized. On the bright side, both languages follow similar logic, which makes them easy to understand. Working on mini real-world projects is a great way for me to kickstart getting comfortable with Python.

How were these changes tested?

I tried using different examples to test the function and see if there were conditions that had been overlooked or not accounted for in the code.

A reference to a related issue in your repository (if applicable)

None.
