6/26/17 Notes (Case sensitivity not working) 

    

  • 
Added column names for the Attitudes Survey for all years.
    

    • 

  • 
Working on getting the sequence matcher to work, with Torri
    

    • 

  • 
Here is the example Dr. McColgan gave me:
    

    • 

      

    • 
>>> from difflib import SequenceMatcher as SM
>>> s1 = ' It was a dark and stormy night. I was all alone sitting on a red chair. I was not completely alone as I had three cats.'
>>> s2 = ' It was a murky and stormy night. I was all alone sitting on a crimson chair. I was not completely alone as I had three felines.'
>>> SM(None, s1, s2).ratio()
0.9112903225806451
      

      • 

    

  • 
Here is what I typed to work with my files/code:
    

    • 

      

    • 
s1 = CareerS14['Full Name']
      

      • 

    




s2 = ConfidenceS14['Full Name']







SM(None,s1,s2,).ratio()


      

    • 
This gave me a number, but I think it compared the ENTIRE column instead of the individual rows.
      

      • 

    

  • 
Added code the code Torri used to change all letters in the full name to capital letters
    

    • 

      

    • 
This works for all file except for the attendance file.
      

      • 

    • 
I double checked to make sure I made a “Full Name Column” in the attendance file, then put the code for attendance in its own cell and it’s still not working
      

      • 

    • 
I tried writing the code so that it made the “First Name,” and “Last Name” columns all upper case, instead of just the “Full Name” column. This did not work.
      

      • 

    • 
I tried restarting Kernel and clearing outputs, then running the cells again. This did not work.
      

      • 

    • 
I tried shutting the code down then opening it up again. This did not work.

6/14/17 Notes

I want to write a code so that I can search the name of a class, and everyone who took that class will appear. Originally I assumed I could use the same command I did to search for a specific name, and then edit that so the code would search for a specific person. However, looking at the format of the file, there are four different columns that contain class information, while there’s only one column with name information. I am going to see if I can search for a specific class in the “Am S1” column first to see if everything runs smoothly, and if that works, I will look for ways to search for an ID word in multiple columns. I tried this command. Only the column headings are appearing and nothing else Studentinfo14[Studentinfo14['Am S1'].str.contains('Discovery', na=False)] I changed “Studentinfo14” to attendance so that the code would look for this information in the attendance file instead of the master file. This worked, but using this file means that I ca...

6/06/17 Notes (formatting code and searching for a specific person)

Working on fixing the format of the code, deleting cells, and making sure everything in an organized order to make it easier to use Earlier I was having a problem displaying the Confidence survey chart so I renamed all the columns and then it displayed. I now found that the command “ConfidenceS#.lock[:,:] also works, and is much more efficient because now I don’t have to go through each survey and copy and past the column names for every year of every survey. This works for all of them except Semantics, not sure why. I finished adding all the survey information I needed to merge all the surveys for 2014. I keep getting errors in the cells that deal with inverting numbered responses because certain column headers “don’t exist.” This means I actually will have to rename all the columns. However, for some reason this does not affect the cells that merge all the data. I successfully uploaded all the files onto the code and merged all the surveys and the attendance spreadsheet to...
