ALT 2 Diary Continued
14th of March
Emma decided to pick up the mantle of coding, as we did not have what Alexa had done code wise. Emma had previously asked Alexa for code, but Alexa felt that she had not done enough for it be worth sending.
Philip decided to work on code as well as we felt we were very behind on code. Emma and Philip ran into a variety of problems, with Emma running into the problem of the excel file being in the wrong format.
When Philip copied the code over to Thonny, he ran into the problem of spaces being replaced with an unknown character.

Emma and Philip worked on trying to make the graph work, with some troubleshooting help from Jack Kimpton. Philip did some work on the Project Diary, and Emma did some work on the Project Diary mind map.
We ran into some trouble with adding up all the toppings because they were in words and not numbers. We tried a few different combinations of code but none of them worked sufficiently.
We decided we needed to change the words to numbers we had harvested in our Microsoft Form, but we ran out of time on this day.

Philip worked on code. He was able to get the shell to display the table for people’s preferred pizza types working, however is unable to get graphs working.
Philip continued working on code. Table for pizza toppings, and graphs for pizza types and toppings were completed.
Philip worked on code again. He got the mean and median bars to work in the pizza types and pizza toppings graphs but is unable to get the mode working. Statistics.multimode would return an error, as each topping/ pizza type was listed once beside the number of times it was voted for in the survey. Philip tried to repurpose code used by the mobile phone group (this time with the original excel file, that had every answer everybody gave individually listed, as opposed to just having the number of times an answer appeared beside the answer) but while the code generated graphs for how many people voted for a pizza type/ topping that would have saved us a lot of time earlier, it errored out when trying to append data.

We decided to scrap the original csv file for the time being, and make a new one with numbers that could be more easily read by Thonny.
We ran into a litany of problems on this day, including the unknown character bug again, such as Philip’s computer freezing up randomly, Emma’s computer not allowing the search of python tools, and both computers taking millennia to complete basic tasks. This made sifting through the examples of code to try and find what we needed to alter and lift nigh on impossible.

Philip realises the mode is just the pizza type/topping that was chosen most often, and so adds it into the code and the graph. Philip and Emma finish the powerpoint.
