Question

In this assignment you will provide a Python script which will calculate the Biorhythms for an individual and present the data graphically using libraries and a common algorithm. Assessment Details: Biorhythms were developed by Wilhelm Fließ, a colleague of Sigmund Freud, in the 19th century and were very popular in the 1970s (Troutman, 1978); despite criticisms they are still used today in fields such as work safety to sports performance (Arab, Omidvari, & Nasiripour, 2014; Zareian, Rabbani, & Saeedi, 2014). The theory underlying Biorhythms proposes that, from birth, three cycles: physical, emotional and intellectual affect our performance. Understanding these cycles can help to optimise our potential. Figure 1 Biorhythm chart over the first 66-day period after birth (after Wiki) Although there are many references available, the paper by Troutman (1978) has been attached as an early computer application. An example of an algorithm to determine the day of any date has also been attached. (https://blog.artofmemory.com/how-to-calculate-the-day-of-the-week-4203.html) Your task is to develop a Python application that can display Biorhythms for a person given their date of birth and the target date. You should be able to provide the Biorhythms for a suitable spread around the target date as well. In creating the application you should seek to provide novel views of the Biorhythm curves – views that provide insight. While you are encouraged to research and discuss your work with colleagues, the final product must be all your own work. (Screen shots of a debugger might be useful in explaining how your code works.) Any help must be acknowledged as well as any resource material.

Answer 1

CODE:

REFER IMAGE FOR INDENTATION.

import datetime as dt
from numpy import *
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

pi=3.14
bdate_in=list(map(int,input("enter your birth date : (yyyy-m-day)").strip().split("-")))
tdate_in=list(map(int,input("enter the target date : (yyyy-m-day)").strip().split("-")))

bdate=dt.datetime(bdate_in[0],bdate_in[1],bdate_in[2])# createing date object datetime(y,m,d)
tdate=dt.datetime(tdate_in[0],tdate_in[1],tdate_in[2])

delta=tdate-bdate #difference between days gives number of days between birthdate and target date
num_days=delta.days #to get only days and not time
t=arange(num_days-14,num_days+14,1) #time values with 14 days spread around target date

#physical
y1=sin((2*pi*t)/23)*100
plt.plot(t,y1,'b',label='Physical')
plt.xlabel('(t) Days after birth')
plt.ylabel('percentage')
plt.title('Biorhythms')

#Emotional
y2=sin((2*pi*t)/28)*100
plt.plot(t,y2,'g',label='Emotional')

#Intellectual
y3=sin((2*pi*t)/33)*100
plt.plot(t,y3,'r',label='Intellectual')

plt.axvline(num_days, color='black',label='Target')
plt.legend(bbox_to_anchor=(0, 1), loc='upper left', ncol=1)

plt.show()

OUTPUT:

ALL THE BEST :D
