Fizz-Buzz Python Challenge Solver Program

This Python program is a spin-off on the fizz-buzz challenge and was created as part of an academic assignment. The program uses a constant variable to define a range from 1 to 30 and checks each number in the range for divisibility by 2, 3, and 5. Depending on the divisibility, it prints "foo," "bar," and "baz" individually or in combination. The program utilizes both for and while loops to display the correct output order, with a separator line between the two loops.

Foundations of SQL

This project serves as an introductory journey into the world of Structured Query Language (SQL) and relational database management systems (RDBMS). It covers fundamental SQL commands and concepts in three sections:

  1. Absolute Fundamentals: Creating, populating, and manipulating a "Cars" table.

  2. More Precise Data Handling: Refining SQL skills with an "Apartments" table, including constraints, null values, and targeted operations.

  3. Data Anomalies and Formats: Exploring anomalies in table design and comparing data access between relational tables and file formats.

​

Overall, this project aims to equip individuals with foundational SQL skills essential for effective database management.
