What changes are you trying to make? (e.g. Adding or removing code, refactoring existing code, adding reports)
I wrote some code and functions to read 12 .csv files, generate patient descriptive statistics, and add an error check to flag files where any patients have a mean inflammation score of 0. I also left a few notes.
What did you learn from the changes you have made?
In this practice, I dug deeper into defining and building functions with more elements, and tried applying them in different purposes. The most important thing is that a custom function, if it takes all conditions into account, can cut the work in half!
Was there another approach you were thinking about making? If so, what approach(es) were you thinking of?
This assignment breaks the tasks into three parts (i.e., reading and displaying data, data summarization, and error detection). I was thinking it might be possible to write a single function that combines all three tasks in the future.
Were there any challenges? If so, what issue(s) did you face? How did you overcome it?
Since a task can often be done in many ways, one challenge was figuring out how to write efficient code. Another was making sure a function could handle all possible conditions without missing anything, which could potentially cause errors later. I tried writing more than one alternative that served the same purpose and compared them.
How were these changes tested?
I wrote some additional code to check the data, such as applying different conditions to see if the function still works. I also went back to the raw data to make sure the results lined up with the function’s output.
A reference to a related issue in your repository (if applicable)
None.
