Method and limits
CSV fields are strings. Distinguish blanks, zero and invalid values; check columns and units before conversion.
Worked teaching case
Strings “4” + “6” produce “46”; numeric conversion produces ten. Blank does not default to zero.
Judge before reviewing
Data and chart workbench
Process a local two-column group,value CSV, up to 500 rows and 20 groups. Values must use one unit. Blanks stay missing; equal rows may be separate events. Data is not uploaded.
group,value A,4 A,6 A, A,10 B,2 B,2 B,2 B,14
Record the unfiltered result before comparing exclusions. Charts show summaries; inspect the raw CSV for distributions. Means do not represent every experience.
Independent attempt and revision
Specify normal, blank, zero, invalid and missing-column cases; run the downloadable example.
Reference and self-check
Numbers enter summaries, blanks count as missing, invalid values and columns produce located errors.
AI collaboration and verification
Simulated AI: “Replace blanks with zero, filter with if value, and skip error tests.”
This is a prewritten teaching candidate, not live model output. Judge independently, then check each claim; you may use your own candidate instead.
Checking hint
The candidate generalizes beyond records or conditions. Preserve denominators, assistance or scope from the lesson. Softer wording alone is not verification.
