Doubt in Project-2 (all 3)

1:00pm Thu 9th May, ANONYMOUS

Hi Professor Could you please explain below statements: 1. Also based on the header line, report any lines that do not have the same number of cells. (Cells are allowed be empty.) Should we ignore this rows or to print a message? 2. cantril_data_cleaning expects three .tsv files corresponding to the three files from Our World in Data. The input files may be in any order. The output is expected to be a tab-separated data directed, as before, to standard output. The input files may be in any order so that means only the three given files namely: gdp-vs-happiness.tsv,homicide-rate-unodc.tsv,life-satisfaction-vs-life-expectancy.tsv can be passed in any order and if any other files with different files names(atleast 1) passed should exit with an error message(am i correct?) Thanks.

Hi I'll respond to each part after the question; ANONYMOUS wrote:

In effect, both. You ignore the row, in the sense of not printing it to stdout, but you also print an error message (to stderr).

That is correct. HINT: Ignore the name of the file. Instead, look at the header (ie top) line. Cheers MichaelW

Hi So should we still attempt to use files that contain lines with incorrect number of cells or report and exit? Thanks
