In this project, students are tasked with straightening out somebody else's mess, namely, a bunch of image data have become scrambled across two files. Students are asked to merge the two files and reconstruct the image.
Students should understand or review the following concepts in order to complete this project: reading records, two-dimensional arrays, and ASCII graphics. Links to these concepts can be found within the content and course links provided.
Using the Python programming language, students unscramble two files that contain image data and in this way simulate a likely task in a company or organization when files are stored improperly or carelessly. This project uses Meaningful and Relevant Content as well as Interdisciplinary Connections.
