Four weeks, twenty-eight functions, one complete log-analysis pipeline. How does the toolkit feel now that you've wired it all together?
Different. Three weeks ago I wasn't sure how to structure anything. Now each new problem slots into a shape I've already built — "that's a frequency map," "that's a window," "that's a filter-then-limit."
That's the vocabulary shift. You didn't just memorize syntax; you learned the shapes of real problems. Last quiz — let's confirm the Week 4 pieces are solid.
Is the quiz just Week 4 or does it pull from earlier weeks too?
Week 4 specifics: argparse flag registration, vars() conversion, filter-before-limit ordering, re.compile reuse, and how the capstone chains every earlier pattern. The Week 1-3 foundation is assumed — we built on it all week.
The final week assembled:
parse_flags — argparse.ArgumentParser + vars() for a typed dictapply_config — filter-then-limit composition on argparse outputvalidate_log_format — re.compile + .match() in a looprender_table — " | ".join + "-" * len + "\n".joinrun_log_report — end-to-end pipeline chaining every earlier patternMeta-lesson: every function was a shape. The capstone is the same shapes, composed. Ship it.
