Overview¶

In this assignment, you will use Python to analyze and interact with data in a real-world scenario. By the end students will be able to:

• Write Python code using loops, conditionals (if statements), functions, and string manipulation.
• Use the command line to run Python scripts with parameters.
• Write Python code to analyze DNA data sets.

Although you will fill in the body of one function and call it, you do not need to write additional functions for this assignment. For all of our assignments you should NOT use parts of Python not yet discussed in class or the course readings.

Homework 2 is your first assignment using Python to analyze some data. As such, it is very important to read the assignment specifications (especially the Programming section) very carefully. The Background section provides helpful context to understand the purpose behind the code you’ll write in this assignment.
