The State Changers focused on resolving an issue related to filtering stores based on certain criteria in a dataset. More specifically, they tried to exclude stores with certain cuisines, namely 'Liquor Stores'. A majority of the meeting was spent troubleshooting code, trying to understand why they were seeing what seemed like a logical error in their iteration and data analysis.
They initially attempted to use the 'remove' function with an 'if conditional' but were not getting the results they desired. Several solutions were proposed during this process, including using a 'filter' function and experimenting with 'pointer math'. Eventually, a new approach was proposed to create a separate variable called 'output' in the loop instead of directly working with the iterator variable 'stores'. The intention behind this step was to avoid any issues with memory loss during the iteration. They also edited the 'response' to output the new variable instead of 'stores'. By implementing these steps, they were able to correctly filter the stores. Furthermore, they noticed an issue where certain stores were being re-added to the list when they already had a score. They agreed to investigate this later to ensure it accurately updates the stores list. In summary, the meeting concentrated on tackling a filtering issue involving complex data, and through extensive collaborative troubleshooting, encountered key insights into handling such issues.
