Coding Challange
As a coding challange, I was tasked with parsing 3 text files containing properties of a person each delimited by a different character. I then needed to combined that data into one table and finally produce an output displaying the data sorted by different columns.
Solution
As a solution to this problem I created a module called TextParserMatrix. This module facilitates parsing, sorting, printing, and maintaining separate strings of delimited text as one table. This abstraction made solving the coding challange much easier. Also this is something I can see myself adding to and using again in the future.
