1 .TASK 1: Analyze, Critique, and Debug Code

1.1 Code Analysis and

Debugging (Part a) Introduction

This section explores the systematic evaluation of programming code, particularly focusing
on methodical
analysis and debugging of a Python script intended to generate prime numbers up to a
specified integer input. Code evaluation represents an essential competency in
contemporary software engineering; it enhances program accuracy, efficiency, clarity,
and long-term maintainability.

The Provided Code and Its Intent

The supplied code's objective seems straightforward: request a numerical boundary

from the user and display all prime numbers from 2 to that boundary. While the goal
appears uncomplicated initially, the actual implementation contains numerous flaws.

Original Code:

python

def # Missing
pr(n) colonMissing colon and
for j in range(2,n)#
indentation
if n%j==0: # Incorrect indentation
return
False return

def # Non-descriptive function

f(l): name
p=[ # Non-descriptive variable
# Should start from 2 (first
] prime) # Should be i<=l
i=1 to include limit
while # Redundant ==True comparison
i<l: # Inefficient list concatenation
if
# Incorrect indentation - returns
pr(i)==True
: too early # Input returns string,
p+=[i] needs conversion

In-Depth Critique of

Errors Syntax Errors

Missing Colons and Indentation: Python depends on proper indentation for code block
structure. The absence of colons (:) following def and for statements, along with
improper indentation patterns, would immediately cause syntax errors or create
logical inconsistencies.
Missing Increment: The while loop lacks any increment operation for the loop variable
i. This creaan infinite loop condition if the code executes at all.
Logical Errors

Incorrect Loop Start: The iteration begins at 1, however 1 is not considered prime.
Prime numbers are mathematically defined as integers greater than 1 having no
positive divisors except 1 and the number itself.
Premature Return: The function f returns the list p after just one iteration due to
incorrect placement of the return statement.
Input Handling: The input function produces a string value; this requires conversion to
integer format before processing.
Loop Bounds: The prime search should encompass the limiting value (using i <= l),
rather than terminating before reaching it.

Style and Efficiency

Poor Naming: Function and variable identifiers are unclear (pr, f, p), creating difficulties
for code maintenance and debugging for other developers or even the original
programmer later.
Redundant Boolean Check: The expression if pr(i) == True can be simplified to just if
pr(i).
Inefficient Prime Test: For each number up to n, all potential divisors from 2 to n-1 are
examined; this approach becomes extremely slow for larger numbers.

Documentation and Error Handling

The code contains no documentation (docstrings or inline comments).

No validation for invalid user input (negative values, non-integer entries).

Corrected and Enhanced Version

The following represents the corrected version, addressing all previously

identified issues. NOTE: The code below is for completeness.

This is not counted toward the 4000-word analysis.

for number in range(2, limit
+ 1): if is_prime(number):
primes.append(number)
return primes

try:
user_limit = int(input("Enter the limit for prime
search: ")) if user_limit < 2:
print("Please enter a number greater than or equal to 2.")
else:
prime_numbers = find_primes(user_limit)
print(f"Prime numbers up to {user_limit}:
{prime_numbers}") except ValueError:
print("Please enter a valid integer.")
Output :

Enter the limit for prime search: 55

Prime numbers up to 55: [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53]

Changes and Rationale

Syntax and Structure Corrected: All necessary colons and proper indentation
implemented. Loop Bounds: The range has been adjusted to include the
upper boundary.
Variable Naming: Functions and variables use descriptive, meaningful names.
Prime Test Optimization: Only odd numbers beyond 2 are tested, and checking is
limited to the square root of n.
Documentation: Functions include comprehensive docstrings for future
users/developers. User Input Validation: Ensures user input is valid and
positive integer.
No Redundant Boolean Checks: Direct Boolean evaluation is employed.

Impact of Debugging and Refactoring

This systematic analysis and progressive correction produces transformative results:

Maintainability: Enhanced naming conventions and documentation facilitate future

modifications by developers other than the original author.
Readability: Consistent styling (PEP 8), clear comments, and logical structure make the
code's purpose transparent.
Robustness: Type validation and input checking prevent program crashes, making it
deployment- ready.
Performance: While correctness remains the primary debugging objective, efficiency
improvements are addressed in the following section.

1.2 Performance Optimization

(Part b) Introduction to

Algorithmic Optimization

In computational number theory, efficiently generating prime numbers for large ranges
represents a classical challenge. The naive approach (testing all divisors up to n-1 for each
candidate) proves practical only for small datasets. Optimization becomes essential rather
than optional when dealing with scale.

Baseline vs. Optimized Methods

Three distinct approaches are evaluated:

1.Baseline "Brute Force": Examine all integers from 2 to n-1 as potential divisors for
each candidate number.
 2.Improved "Trial Division to √n": For odd numbers, test only divisors up to the square
root. This intelligently exploits the mathematical principle that if n isn't prime, at least
one factor must be ≤ √n.
3.Sieve of Eratosthenes: The optimal solution for generating multiple primes. Rather
than testing each number individually, it systematically marks all multiples of each
discovered prime, ensuring each composite number is marked only once.

C

Essential optimization principles implemented:

Reduce Computational Complexity: Standard trial division operates at O(n²). Square root
optimization reduces this to O(n√n). The Sieve achieves O(n log log n).
Early Exit: Once evidence indicates a number isn't prime (first divisor discovered),
computation immediately terminates for that candidate.
Even Number Skipping: All even candidates beyond '2' can be immediately rejected.
Sieve Innovation: For batch prime generation, marking all multiples of each identified
prime eliminates redundant calculations.
Broader Lessons

Algorithm selection proves crucial. The performance difference isn't marginal; inefficient
implementations become unusable for large inputs.
In professional environments (cryptography, scientific computing), these performance
gains aren't merely "desirable"—they're absolutely essential.

Generalization These optimization patterns extend to numerous computing scenarios. The

key insight transcends prime generation—it's about consistently seeking superior
algorithms and exploiting mathematical properties along with data structure efficiencies.

2.TASK 2: Design, Build, and Test (Blackjack Game)

2.1 Software Engineering: Requirements

and Solution Problem Analysis

Constructing a Blackjack game through programming involves more than coding mechanics.
It requires requirements gathering (What constitutes the game flow? How should edge
cases be managed?) and system design (function architecture, data representation).

The objective is a text-based game where one player competes against a computerized
dealer, both striving to achieve a score as close to 21 as possible without exceeding it.

Functional Specification

Core requirements include:

Shuffle and distribute cards from a standard 52-card deck.

Cards maintain accurate values; face cards (J, Q, K) equal 10, Ace equals 11 or 1
as appropriate. The player can hit or stand. The dealer follows house protocols:
hit until reaching 17 or higher. Game evaluates win/loss/tie conditions after
each hand.
Capability to play multiple rounds and maintain score tracking.

Solution Architecture

The challenge is optimally addressed through a modular, function-

oriented approach. Deck Creation: List containing all possible card

representations ("7 of Hearts").

Card Value Calculation: Returns integer value for each card; manages
Aces flexibly. Hand Value Calculation: Sums the cards, utilizing Ace
as 1 or 11 appropriately.
Dealing: Simulates drawing cards from the deck.
Game Flow: Manages loop control and user interaction.
 Display: Presents cards and current totals in text format.
Game State Management: Tracks scores and handles replay functionality.

Input Robustness: Manages invalid input and repeated prompts effectively.

Card Deck Representation: Ensures identical cards never appear
twice per round. Randomization: Employs Python's random module
for shuffling operations.
Edge Cases: Addresses 'Blackjack' (21 on two cards), bust (>21), and tie scenarios.

Human-Computer Interaction Considerations

Usability is demonstrated through:

Informative user prompts.

Clear hand display formatting.
Explicit replay requests with input validation.

Testing and Validation

Testing such an application encompasses:

Shuffling verification and card uniqueness

confirmation. Ace value adjustments in both
player and dealer hands. Dealer logic
compliance with specified rules.
Display logic verification (proper concealment and subsequent revealing of dealer card).

Testing can be performed manually (running and playing with various inputs and outcome
scenarios) and supported by unit tests (for hand value calculations and deck logic).

Software Engineering Reflection

The design and implementation process reflects real-world software development

practices. Through modular decomposition, comprehensive documentation, input validation,
and testability emphasis, the program becomes maintainable and extensible, suitable for
future enhancements (such as betting systems, multiplayer capability, or graphical
interface integration).

3.TASK 3: Air Quality Time Series Analysis

Since your PDF doesn't provide specific content for this section, I'll present a
comprehensive model answer based on standard practices for air quality data analysis
and time series analysis using Python. If you have particular data files or instructions,
please provide them!

3.1 Introduction
Air pollution affects millions globally, making precise monitoring and timely interventions
essential for public health protection. Analyzing air quality data (including PM2.5, PM10,
NOx, SO2) enables stakeholders to identify trends, detect anomalous events, and assess
policy effectiveness. The proliferation of affordable sensors and accessible government
data facilitates community-driven or official monitoring initiatives worldwide.

Time series analysis involves examining pollutant measurements across consistent time
intervals (hourly, daily, monthly). It can reveal patterns such as daily cycles, seasonal
variations, and unexpected spikes ("episodes").

1.RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SIZE AND LONGEVITY:

The relationship varies significantly between animal
classes. Some classes show positive correlation
(larger = longer-lived), others show negative
correlation (smaller = longer-lived).

2.EXTREME OUTLIERS IDENTIFIED:

- Cinereous vulture (Aves): 9.62e+03g, 39.0 years
- Eastern imperical eagle (Aves): 3.26e+03g, 56.0 years
- Black-shouldered kite (Aves): 2.66e+02g, 3.5 years
- Streaked tenrec (Mammalia): 1.80e+02g, 2.7 years
- Bowhead whale (Mammalia): 1.00e+08g, 211.0 years
- Southern right whale (Mammalia): 4.50e+07g, 70.0 years
- Shortfin eel (Teleostei): 4.10e+03g, 32.0 years
- African longfin eel (Teleostei): 4.12e+02g, 20.0 years
- Long-finned eel (Teleostei): 1.10e+04g, 15.0 years
- Saltwater crocodile (Reptilia): 2.00e+05g, 57.0 years
3.IMPLICATIONS FOR AGING RESEARCH:
- Different animal classes exhibit different size-longevity relationships
- This suggests multiple evolutionary strategies for longevity
 - Outliers may represent species with unique aging mechanisms
- Cross-class comparisons can reveal conserved aging pathways
- Size-independent longevity factors warrant investigation

All visualizations use appropriate scales and highlight key insights.

3.2 Typical Stages in Air Quality Time Series Analysis

1.Data Acquisition Data can be obtained from open APIs (such as OpenAQ, government
portals) or CSV files from local sensor networks.

Example:

python

import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv('air_quality_data.csv', parse_dates=['timestamp'])

2.Preprocessing and Cleaning

Handling Missing Data: Filling or interpolating NaN values, or excluding them

from analysis. Outlier Detection: Removing values outside reasonable ranges.
Resampling: Aggregating data to consistent intervals

(hourly/daily). Example:

python

data =
data.set_index('timestamp').resample('D').mea
n() data = data.interpolate()
3.Exploratory Data Analysis

Plotting Trends: Using matplotlib or seaborn for time series visualization.

 python

import matplotlib.pyplot as
plt plt.figure(figsize=(15,5))
plt.plot(data.index, data['PM2.5'], label='PM2.5')
plt.title('PM2.5 over Time')
plt.xlabel('Date')
plt.ylabel('Concentration
(µg/m³)') plt.legend()
plt.show()

Summary Statistics: Mean, median, minimum, maximum, standard deviation

calculations.

4.Identifying Patterns

Seasonality and Trends: Utilizing moving averages or decomposition techniques (such

as STL in statsmodels) to detect weekly and annual cycles.
Event Detection: Highlighting periods where values exceed regulatory thresholds.

5.Advanced Analyses

Forecasting: Autoregressive models (ARIMA, Prophet, LSTM neural networks) can

predict future values.
Anomaly Detection: Statistical thresholds or unsupervised learning techniques to
identify abnormal pollution spikes.

6.Policy and Public Health Context

Threshold Analysis: Comparing daily mean values against WHO and local air quality
standards.
Source Attribution: (With supporting data) using correlations and regression analysis
to identify sources — such as diurnal NOx peaks from traffic patterns.

3.3 Reporting and Visualization

Effectively communicating results proves as crucial as the analysis itself. Visualization helps
interpret large datasets and identify trends.

Examples:

Daily/Seasonal Trend Analysis

Heatmaps showing pollution patterns by hour and day
Highlighting pollution "episodes" (such as Diwali celebrations in Indian cities)

3.4 Reflection and Recommendations

Time series air quality analysis remains vital for informed urban planning and public health
interventions. Challenges persist in data gaps, sensor calibration, and establishing
causality, but analytical skills and computational tools provide evidence for effective
action.

4.TASK 4: Data Protection and Data Ethics

4.1 Data Protection Principles

When handling data, particularly environmental data that may be geolocated or

associated with individuals (such as home sensor networks), ethical and legal
considerations remain paramount. The following principles must be observed:

4.1.1 Privacy by Design

Minimize Personal Data: Collect and process only data necessary for analysis purposes.
Anonymize Sensitive Information: If datasets could be traced back to individuals
(precise locations, device identifiers), this information should be removed or
generalized.

4.1.2 Security

Implement robust safeguards preventing unauthorized access or data modification

(such as encryption, access controls).
Ensure secure data transmission and storage protocols.

4.1.3 Transparency and Consent

Inform participants about data collection practices and

intended usage. If citizen-contributed sensor data is
involved, obtain explicit consent.

4.1.4 Data Quality and Accuracy

Communicate known limitations (uncalibrated sensors, missing data) in reports

and conclusions. Employ best practices for data cleaning and validation.

4.1.5 Compliance with Law and Regulation

Adhere to relevant data protection legislation (such as GDPR, IT Act, local privacy laws).

4.2 Ethics in Data Science

Ethical considerations extend beyond legal requirements:

Bias and Fairness: Ensure analyses don't disproportionately disadvantage marginalized

communities (such as focusing exclusively on affluent neighborhoods' sensor data).
Social Responsibility: Utilize data insights for public benefit; avoid sensationalism or
misrepresentation.
 Data Ownership: Respect data creators' rights—provide proper attribution, avoid
claiming third-party data as original work.

 === PRIVACY-PRESERVING TECHNIQUES IN GENOMIC RESEARCH ===

DATA ANONYMIZATION:
Techniques: K-anonymity, L-diversity, Differential privacy
Implementation: Remove direct identifiers and add
statistical noise Challenges: Genomic data is inherently
identifiable

ACCESS CONTROLS:
Techniques: Role-based access, Multi-factor authentication, Audit
logging Implementation: Granular permissions based on
research needs Challenges: Balancing security with research
collaboration

SECURE COMPUTATION:
Techniques: Homomorphic encryption, Secure multi-party
computation Implementation: Analyze encrypted data
without decryption Challenges: Computational overhead and
complexity

FEDERATED LEARNING:
Techniques: Distributed model training, Data stays at
source Implementation: Share model updates, not raw
data
Challenges: Coordination complexity and potential information leakage

=== ETHICAL GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK

=== ETHICS COMMITTEES:

Composition: Independent experts, patient representatives,
ethicists Responsibilities: Review research proposals,
monitor ongoing studies Powers: Approve, reject, or
require modifications to research

DATA ACCESS COMMITTEES:

Composition: Senior researchers, data protection officers,
ethicists Responsibilities: Evaluate data access requests, ensure
appropriate use Powers: Grant or deny access, impose usage
conditions

PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT:
Methods: Citizen panels, public consultations, patient advisory
groups Frequency: Regular engagement throughout
research lifecycle Outcomes: Inform research priorities and
governance policies

4.3 Summary

In air quality and other domains, responsible data management proves critical not only for
regulatory compliance but for maintaining public trust. Ethics and protection in data-
driven projects must be integrated from the project inception—not added as
afterthoughts.
