Loan or No Loan?

Here is some people's last month bank statements. Query the database to answer the questions. Write methods to return all of the information to you. Don't do this manually.

  • How many people are there in the database?
  • What is each persons salary (return their name and salary)?
  • What is each persons net income?
  • How about their highest expense?
  • What percent of their salary did they spend?

suggestions for ninja gold. it's pretty good as is. just some tips :)

		try:

		except:
 session['activities_arr'] = []

  • Take one day off a week from coding. No coding that day.
  • If you don't understand something fully, don't worry too much about it. Just complete whatever you're trying to do and move on. You don't have time to really learn everything, and that's fine. You'll figure it out later, trust me, a lot of things didn't make sense until I just did them a bunch and then was like 'oh yeah I get it now'.
  • All programmers actually do is know how to look things up on google. Seriously, ask any programmer and they'll tell you that. Have the time you spend at work is on google, looking up how to do things. There's a site called stackoverflow.com that you'll become very familiar with, you might as well s
