Explore & Manipulate Data

In this lab we worked extensively with manipulating data. To begin I created a new geodatabase and copied features from one database to another and change the name which was really simple. After that I created a list from the data that had been transferred and I manipulated it in several ways the first was to list the data from a single shape file by its features and I used several variables and a search cursor and a for function to go over the list then filter by the criteria and print the results. Then I was tasked with creating a dictionary for the data and filling it with the data gathered based on the required criteria. In order to accomplish this is I used a search cursor again with a for function to display only the features of the data in the dictionary.
