Birthday Data Analyzer

The purpose of the work: Master the basic methods for work with dictionary,

JSON, matplotlib and bokeh in Python programming language.

Tasks

$1.$ Birthday Dictionaries

$2.$ Birthday JSON

$3.$ Birthday Months

$4.$ Birthday Plots

Birthday Dictionaries

For this task, we will keep track of famous scientists$$ birthdays, and be able

to find that information based on their name. Create a dictionary $($in your file$)$ of

names and birthdays. When you run your program, it should ask the user to enter a

name, and return the birthday of that person back to them. The interaction should

look something like this:

$>>>$ Welcome to the birthday dictionary. We know the

birthdays of:

Albert Einstein

Benjamin Franklin

Ada Lovelace

$>>>$ Who's birthday do you want to look up$?$

Benjamin Franklin

$>>>$ Benjamin Franklin's birthday is $01/17/1706.$

Birthday JSON

In the previous task we created a dictionary of famous scientists$$ birthdays. In

this exercise, modify your program to load the birthday dictionary from a JSON file,

rather than having the dictionary defined in the program.

Ask the user for another scientist$$s name and birthday to add to the dictionary,

and update the JSON file with the scientist$$s name. If you run the program multiple

$2$

times and keep adding new names, your JSON file should keep getting bigger and

bigger.

Birthday Months

In the previous task we saved information about famous scientists$$ names and

birthdays in JSON. In this task, load that JSON file, extract the months of all the

birthdays, and count how many scientists have a birthday in each month.

Your program should output something like:

$\{$

"May": $3,$

"November": $2,$

"December": $1$

$\}$

Birthday Plots

In the previous task we counted how many birthdays there are in each month

in our dictionary of birthdays.

In this task, we use the bokeh Python library to plot a histogram of which

months the scientists have birthdays in$.$ Because it would take a long time for you to

input the months of various scientists, you can use my scientist birthday JSON file.

Just parse out the months $($if you don$$t know how, I suggest looking at the previous

task$)$ and draw your histogram. If you are using a purely web$-$based interface for

coding, this task won$$t work for you, since it requires installing the bokeh Python

package $($pip install bokeh$).$

Requirements for the report

The report should include: a title page, a workflow with a description of all

tasks and the program codes $($this section consists of a sequential description of the

performed significant steps$),$ conclusions and answers to self$-$ testing questions.
