PyBank and PyPoll Homework

PyBank

• Our task is to create a Python script that analyzes the records to calculate each of the following:

  • The total number of months included in the dataset

  • The net total amount of "Profit/Losses" over the entire period

  • The average of the changes in "Profit/Losses" over the entire period

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

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

• As an example, our analysis should look similar to the one below:

• Financial Analysis

• Total Months: 86

• Total: $22564198

• Average Change: -8311.11

• Greatest Increase in Profits: Aug-16 ($1862002)

• Greatest Decrease in Profits: Feb-14 ($-1825558)

• In addition, our final script should both print the analysis to the terminal and export a text file with the results.

PyPoll

• In this challenge, we are tasked with helping a small, rural town modernize its vote-counting process.

• We will be give a set of poll data called election_data. The dataset is composed of three columns: Voter ID, County, and Candidate. Our task is to create a Python script that analyzes the votes and calculates each of the following:

  • The total number of votes cast

  • A complete list of candidates who received votes

  • The percentage of votes each candidate won

  • The total number of votes each candidate won

  • The winner of the election based on popular vote.

• As an example, Our analysis should look similar to the one below:

• Election Results

• Total Votes: 369712

• Charles Casper Stockham: 23.048% (85213)

• Diana DeGette: 73.812% (272892)

• Raymon Anthony Doane: 3.139% (11606)

• Winner: Diana DeGette

• In addition, our final script should both print the analysis to the terminal and export a text file with the results.

Please Note:

• I did explaine my steps in my comments and anywhere I used google to find a better function or way, I mentioned it.
