GIS Programming Class Module 6 Lab 6

In this lab we learned about Spatial Analysis and how to reclassify shapefiles using python. The problem I struggled the most with this lab was honestly saving my final result. For whatever reason I must have had a brain fart and just could not figure out what I was doing wrong when trying to save my final result. I think I must have misinterpreted the instructions when it was talking about saving the file to a GDB and that just completely threw me off. In order to fix this problem, I stepped away for a little bit to clear my head and then when I came back I realized that I had misread the instructions and was able to save my final result.

This is my final result!

It looks a little different from the example we were given in the assignment instructions but I noticed a few other people on the discussion board were getting the same result so I figured that it must be close enough!

 In this lab we dealt with nested loops and how to use those to create a text file with specific information from shapefiles given to us.

I enjoyed this lab a lot more than last week, I rarely ran into a problem and when I did I was able to solve it fairly quickly.

This is my TXT file that my code created with all of the information that was required.

 This was probably the hardest lab yet.  I struggled the most with setting up the search cursor for the dictionary, mainly the where_clause. I kept getting errors varying form a problem with the SQL code to an unhashable type error. What I ended up doing to fix this was deleting the line where I defined the where_clause and instead defining it within the search cursor and setting it equal to the delimitedField variable.

Once I was able to get the output I wanted the feeling of accomplishment that I got was amazing and made it all worth it.

 In this lab we learned how to create multi-step tools in modebuilder as well as stand alone script in Spyder. This lab was again very interesting and I feel as though I learned a lot about things that will help me in the future. It was difficult at times but very rewarding at the end when you get everything to work out.
