Codecademy Portfolio Project: Recommendation Software App
Overview
This a terminal/CLI based app that takes in user input to select a food type that they're feeling. Then, based off of input, the app will provide restaurant "recommendations" from it's internal data.
Technology
This was written in Python 3.
It's a straightforward app in that it just takes in user input and then filters out pre-defined restaurant data that's stored in a local file.

Fantastic job on this. There are no "straightforward apps", every app is a uniquely crafted piece of art that is the result of [hard] work, creativity, ingenuity, and application. Always take pride in the work you do, no matter how simple it might seem. Every piece of code you write leads you on the path of being a better developer.
So, I've been learning to use type annotations. While type annotations are optional in Python, they convey a lot of information. For example,
defprompt_user(prompt:str)->strname=input(prompt)returnname.strip()Here we see a function that takes a prompt, which is of type string, and it returns a type string. This can be powerful in complex code bases and for type-checking and IDEs/intellisense. If you're looking for an additional challenge, I'd challenge you to convert your Codeacademy solution to use type annotations. That sounds like a fun challenge, now doesn't it?
Anyways, great job again on this! Hope to see more of your work in the future on here! Keep coding, and keep posting!
