What changes are you trying to make? (e.g. Adding or removing code, refactoring existing code, adding reports)

I added code to open and read the first file in the data set, calculate the mean, max and min flare up experienced by each patient and then detected patients with a mean inflammation score of zero.

What did you learn from the changes you have made?

I learned the importance of properly defining a path so that our code is able to access the right data in the right location.

Was there another approach you were thinking about making? If so, what approach(es) were you thinking of?

I thought of using the readline method like the homework suggested but went with the method that was shown in class when handling csv files.

Were there any challenges? If so, what issue(s) did you face? How did you overcome it?

It was a challenge setting up the functions because I wasn't always sure if I was assigning variables to the right expression.

How were these changes tested?

I checked these changes by running the code to see if the expected output is what I got.
