SCOIR Technical Interview for Back-End Engineers

This repo contains an exercise intended for Back-End Engineers.

How To:

After you pull the repo to your local machine, and with with python 3.6 installed, and your path properly set on windows or mac pip install the requirements

    pip3 install -r requirements.txt

This will go very easily if you also use a virtual environment

Now that the environment is set up, all you have to do is run:

    python app.py

if you have multiple versions of Python downloaded and have gotten an error while trying to run app.py, try:

    python3 app.py

The app will prompt the user for some information: Where to find the input file and where to place the output file

If given an invalid filepath for the input, the program will error

###Testing: In the command line:

python test_recordValidation.py 

Assumptions

1. The headers for the input file are exactly: INTERNAL_ID,FIRST_NAME,MIDDLE_NAME,LAST_NAME,PHONE_NUM
2. The user has access to the original file and has given python adequate permissions
3. All paths given will be relative to app.py or absolute
