Python challenge

This repository contains Python scripts for performing financial and election analysis. The scripts read data from CSV files, analyze the data, and generate summary reports.

Introduction

This project consists of two Python scripts:

• PyBank/main.py: This script analyzes financial data from a CSV file containing budget information and generates a summary report. It calculates total months, total profits/losses, average change, and identifies the greatest increase and decrease in profits.
• PyPoll/main.py: This script analyzes election data from a CSV file containing voting information and generates a summary report. It calculates the total number of votes, determines the winner of the election based on popular vote, and provides a breakdown of votes for each candidate.

Run the desired script

Run Python scripts in terminal using the following commands:

cd PyBank
python main.py

or

cd PyPoll
python main.py

Output

For the script 1 we will get the file called analysis_summary.txt in the following directory:

PyBank/analysis/analysis_summary.txt

For the script 2 we will get the file called election_results.txt in the following directory:

PyPoll/analysis/election_results.txt

The script will generate a summary report both in the console and in a text file located in the analysis directory.

Data Sources

PyBank/Resources/budget_data.csv: Contains financial data for budget analysis.

PyPoll/Resources/election_data.csv: Contains voting data for election analysis.

Dependencies

These scripts require the csv and os modules, which are part of the Python standard library.
