This lecture is split across the two sections, it's worth watching both.


I have a need to build an attendance processing system for CSCI 1, so I coded a solution live in class since the skills needed for it are actually going to be used in the Pokemon Part 2 assignment.


Basically, given a bunch of files that contain Discord usernames and a number corresponding to how many times they participated that week, I want to output the real life name (sorted by last name) with their total participation across all weeks. This will make it easy to enter into Canvas.


In Part 1, we went over parsing the input files, building up a database, and making a lookup table to find entries in that database quickly.


This is an actual thing similar to what I've been paid to do in the past, and an actual need for myself right now.
