Inspiration-In the 1900's everyone used to go to Doctors for everything from a common cold to a fever. This program helps patients find what medicine they need so they don't need to go to the doctor unless they need to.
What it does- How the program works is that it asks you for your symptoms. If you have cough and pain then you press numbers to convey it. Then it will tell you which medicines you need to buy and where to get them. In the next 5 days, it will ask you if you are vomiting or if you feel better. If you don't feel better for 5 days then it will give you the phone number to call the doctor.
How I built it- I built it by building small parts of the program at a time then combine it. I checked if it works and if it is wrong I break it into smaller parts to find the bug. When I built it into two big pieces I combined it and fine-tuned it so it would work perfectly together.
Challenges I ran into- I ran into a major problem of variables. I needed to use them in two different places but I couldn't since It was a local variable. To solve this I got rid of some of my loops and rearranged so it would need separate variables. This way it did not matter it was a local variable.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of- I am proud of finishing this project since this my first project that I did by myself.
What I learned- I learned that you also need to expect the unexpected and that you need to change the entire structure of your program to include all parts.
