Assignment 2

[cfzhang96]

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

Added code as required

What did you learn from the changes you have made?

I learned how to use Python for basic data analysis and error detection using NumPy.
Specifically, I practiced reading CSV files, summarizing numerical data (mean, max, min), and writing modular functions to compute patient inflammation statistics.
I also reinforced my understanding of vectorized operations and working with arrays efficiently.

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

I considered using the pandas library to load and summarize the CSV data since it offers more flexible data handling.
However, I followed the assignment instructions to use numpy.loadtxt() to stay consistent with the course focus on core NumPy operations.

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

How were these changes tested?

Hi Chufan,

✅ You implemented the function to read and display a file.
✅ You completed the patient_summary() function to summarize a file.
✅ You implemented the detect_problems() function to check the file.

🎉 Your A2 is complete!
🎊 All your Python assessments are now complete. Thank you for your participation, and I wish you all the best for your future!

Thanks,
