• numpy
• matplotlib
• pytest

Code organisation

• main.py: where the functions are called, where the project is run
• functions.py: where the functions are written
• functions_test.py : where the functions are tested

Necessairy modifications to the code

In main.py line 82, the path must be changed to the directory of each person

Running tests

pytest

In terminal and in directory:

`pytest'

If tests do not run, or there are errors (for debugging):

pytest --full-trace

doctest

In test_functions.py, test_functions_doctest will run the tests for doctests => testting of doctests in pytest

How to run code

1. run functions.py
2. run test_functions.py
3. run main.py
4. run pytest
