M5 Explore and Manipulate Data

 

Scripts results
Module Flowchart


This week's module was exciting to put together and run.  For the assignment, we had to set up a workspace, create a file geodatabase (fGDB), list all feature classes while assigning the list to a variable, copy features from the Data folder into the new fGDB, create a Search Cursor for the cities feature class, create an empty dictionary named county_seats, and populate the dictionary with the names (keys) and populations (values) of all County Seat cities. It was a lot of information that went into the assignment and then making sure all of the details were correct was time-consuming. 

Once again the task of creating a script was a matter of following through on the exercise step-by-step. I am the person that has to go by the numbers and programming is certainly built that way. Ensuring the syntax, tasks, and verbiage are all inputted correctly is rewarding when the output is as it should be, mostly. I had trouble with using the two formats for adding pairs to a dictionary from the assignment. The formula is given to us from the assignment but I just could not get it to work, even though I tried many different ways of adding the information.
