Exercise 1: Get the starter solution

Submission guidelines

Do not forget to follow the submission guidelines.

Checking out your repository

1. Create your git repository using the invitation link in Moodle. Make sure to use the URL that belongs to this topic!

2. Wait for the repository creation to complete, then check out the repository.

   If you are not asked for credentials to log in to GitHub in university computer laboratories when checking out the repository, the operation may fail. This is likely due to the machine using someone else's GitHub credentials. Delete these credentials first (see here), then retry the checkout.

3. Create a new branch for the solution and work on this branch.

4. Open the checked out folder, and type your Neptun code into the neptun.txt file. There should be a single line with the 6 characters of your Neptun code and nothing else in this file.

Prepare and check the data

1. Download the data files from here and extract this zip's contents into the data folder.

   We cannot include this in the starter repository due to the limitations of GitHub Template Repositories. Hence the manual step here.

2. Open the CSV files to check their contents. You will work with these datasets. Please familiarize yourself with their structure and content.
