This project was to further my understanding of HTML, CSS, and JS by using what I learned in the course to have any AI tool help me create two special use calculators. The first one was using a prompt that was given and I would not make any changes to. Any bugs that were present needed to be fixed by me in the code editor. After that was running properly, I would change the prompt in certain areas to develop a special purpose calculator of my own. I decided to have the AI tool create a “Dynamic Inventory Optimization Calculator.” This calculator would take input in the form of average daily usage, lead time, and service level factor to calculate the reorder point, and safety stock level for a product. This project helped me not only understand how webpages, specifically single page architecture, are constructed and how code can be written and edited in many different ways to achieve the same goal.

The web development project is a part of my web app course work at Temple University in which I utilized HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and Bootstrap and AI tools to develop two special-purpose calculators. I designed and tested my own calculator of a loan repayment and a more personalized calculator, concentrating on accuracy and easy-to-use design. The project enabled me to advance my coding abilities, problem-solving, and possibilities to use AI in creating actual web applications.

Using a data tree to decipher analytics
MIS2502-Extra_Points_Assignment
This assignment was to find a data set and insert it into a decision tree to see the true or false values to help understand what made machines fail. This was impactful for my learning because it allowed me to find a data set from a field I am interested in and figure out how to create a viewable chart that would allow me to show employers what to look for in machines to prevent them from failing in the workplace.
Special Purpose Calculator
Within this project, I created two web-based special purpose calculators using Google Gemini A.I. assistance. The first calculator is a loan repayment calculator that takes user input for a loan amount, loan term, and an APR. This application then calculates the monthly payment, total amount paid, and total interest paid. The second special purpose calculator focuses on water intake and will retrieve a user’s weight and calculate how much water the user should have daily.
