Python-Challenge

Python Homework - Py Me Up, Charlie

This project consists of two Python challenges that have real-world situations: PyBank and PyPoll.

Before beginning, a repository named "python-challenge" had to be created and cloned to my local computer. Within the repository, two main directories were created (PyBank and PyPoll), each containing folders: Resource and analysis. The Resource folder had to have a csv file that is paticular to the assignment. The analysis folder will hold the final .txt file with the results. Lastly, the final product of my endeavour was having a main.py file which contained the solved Python script!

  • The greatest increase in profits (date and amount) over the entire period

  • The greatest decrease in losses (date and amount) over the entire period
