== Tuesday - Thursday (2/25/20 - 2/27/20) ==
'''Agenda:'''
* Last day for missing assignments before interim grades
* Benford's Law Assignment
*# Read and watch [http://www.kirix.com/blog/2008/07/22/fun-and-fraud-detection-with-benfords-law/ Benford's Law and Fraud Detection]
*# Further reading [http://mathworld.wolfram.com/BenfordsLaw.html Benford's Law]
*# Research and find a set of naturally occurring numbers. Here are some ideas, but you can come up with your own:

*#* Heights of mountains
*#* Atomic weights in the periodic table
*#* Baseball statistics
*#* etc.
*# Create a text file that contains a list of your numbers (try to have a list of ~1000 numbers if possible)
*#* There are many different ways to do this...some people use Excel, Google Sheets, Sublime, Notepad, etc.
*# Write a program that loads your text file, reads the data, extracts the leading digit(s) of the data set, and displays each digit's frequency as a percentage
*## Can you successfully load a file? and print its contents?
*## Can you split apart the contents and access each individual numerical string?
*## Can you access just the first character of each string?
*## Can you check what the character is and increase its corresponding count appropriately?
*## Can you print out all the frequency percentages using all your counts?
*# Additional challenges:
*#* Look for any repeating patterns in your code and see if you can refactor your code to eliminate "bad code"
*#* Use Processing to load a file, determine the frequencies, and then visually display a bar graph (note: read the Processing documentation to load a file)
