Covid Symptom Tracker

• 

  First menu. Covid symptom tracker on a 2 week max tracking cycle. Lists most frequent symtpom

• 

  Second menu. Lists CDC information about covid safety measures

Inspiration

I wanted to create a program that would help in some way with the coronavirus. I figured it would be within my current knowledge to make a sort of tracker that can track the user's coronavirus symptoms.

What it does

This program's main function is a 2-week tracker that asks the user how many days they have experienced symptoms. Each day it asks how many symptoms they experiences and then asks for which symptoms they had. The program stores all of the symptoms into an array and then calculates which symptoms appeared the most. It then informs the user on which symptom appeared the most within their days of experiencing covid-like symptoms.

How I built it

I built it through the C programming language with Code::Blocks.

Challenges I ran into

A few challenges I ran into had to do with the main array that tracked the numbers that correspond to each symptom type. I had to learn how to sort the array to find the most frequently appeared number and I had to learn how to have the code ignore all of the blank space (the initialized zeroes) within the array if the user didn't use the full length of the array.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

As someone who is new to the C language, I wanted to apply most of the things that I have learned to do so far and I did that but also learned a few new things.

What I learned

I deepened my understanding of the C programming language since I am fairly new to it.

What's next for Covid Symptom Tracker

If I had more time I would have liked to add some form of actual design to the project by possibly implementing it into a website. I also would have gone more in-depth on the covid analysis by adding more information than just the most frequent symptom. With more time I would have also possibly implemented a way for the user to record their symptoms as the days progress so they can go back to a previous day and edit their symptoms or add more that they experienced.
