question about code shares #18

Closed abs8090 closed 2 years ago

abs8090 commented 3 years ago

in the homework 1 - code shares is says "do your best to identify which routes are code shares, and how many unique routes operate into/out of Lexington"

my question is, do we need to first find the routes that are code shares, then using this result find flights that go to/leave from Lexington?

Thanks

I would probably do it the other way around--find all routes into/out of LEX, then look at those data and figure out which are real flights and which are code shares.

Thank you Dr. Erhardt!!

Another question please, for the question "Identify which airports you can get to from Lexington with only one transfer." I noticed in the routes.dat file there are no flights with 'STOPS' higher than 0 leaving Lexington. Is that something expected since the dataset we have does not have the info we're looking for? or am I missing something here?

Thanks
