Hey guys, welcome to Day 25 of 100 Days of Code.
So today we're going to be learning about how to work with CSV files,
so not just text files as we saw in yesterday's lessons.
But we're going to be working with data files and we're going to be analyzing
that data with a library called Pandas.
This is one of the most popular Python data analysis libraries,
and we're going to get to grips with how we can use it to start getting some
insight into our data. By the end of the day,
you're going to be building a educational and interesting game,
which gets you to guess and learn all of the States in the US. And the
inspiration comes from a quiz on Sporcle
where it has a map of all the States,
it's all blank until you start guessing some States,
and then you keep going until you've managed to get all 50. Or like me,
you get stuck at 30 out of 50.
This game tests you on your knowledge of the names of the 50 States in the US.
So for example, if I go and add another state and I hit
OK,
then that name appears on the map at the location of the state.
The aim of the game is to remember all of the names of the states and to name as
many of them as you can.
So I managed to get to about only 30, um,
but I've never lived in the US so my knowledge just comes from watching TV
shows and general knowledge,
but if you're from the US then you're probably going to do a lot better than
me.
So this is an interactive and educational game that I think that you are going
to enjoy playing. So once you are ready, head over to the next lesson,
and let's get started learning about how to work with data files.
