algorithm

Stap 1: Open database / interface
Stap 2: Search for supermarket/shop
Stap 3: Search for apples
Stap 4: Amount of apples?
Stap 5: Look at data. How many apples do I eat in a week?
Stap 6: The date I bought the apples?
Stap 7: Interface shows that I bought 4 apples 4 days ago

Output: Interface that says that I bought 4 apple 4 days ago, I eat about one apple per day so there is a big change that I need to buy new apples.

You use code to tell a computer what to do. Before you write code you need an algorithm.
An algorithm is a list of rules to follow in order to solve a problem.

Algorithms need to have their steps in the right order. Think about an algorithm for getting dressed in the morning. What if you put on your coat before your jumper? Your jumper would be on top of your coat and that would be silly! When you write an algorithm the order of the instructions is very important.

An algorithm is a plan for solving a problem.

What is an algorithm?

What are my feelings / thoughts
during corona and the post-corona society?

In the second class we divided the data items in different categories: analog or digital? Channel? Destination or city?

In the first place I collected some data items who were connected to social media and my mobile phone.

After a few lessons I started thinking of a topic that would interest me.

During the pandemic I realised that when I'm more at home, I go to the supermarket more often. Before corona I was less home and I didn't have a good rhythm. I had to throw a lot of my groceries away. During this corona times I noticed that a rhythm for the things I do during a day, what I'm experiencing right now, will have a positive impact on my grocery buying behaviour, food waste and spending less money.

There will be a lot of people who are going to expierence financial problems due corona, this app will make you a more effecient shopper.

What you can add to your intelligent grocery list (the app):

- scan your grocery lists!
- Your favorite products
- What do you want to eat tonight? For how many persons do you want te cook? (At the end it can show what you still have in your fridge)

+ weekly deals of your favorite supermarket

I added two new categories to the database to make more it clear

Since no one else collected data for the data base about their shopping behaviour, I created a new database.

I analyzed my grocery lists from the past few days and collected the data of these lists. I divided them in several categories. The categories are saying something about the food that I bought.

First idea algorithm

Automatic/intelligent grocery lists that can you tell what you need to buy or what you still have at home / in your fridge.

An app that can show you what you need to buy. Gives you answers on different questions regarding the groceries that you probably need to need to buy.

Data in colors in the category meal, in the same order as in the database.

Step 3. Store data by meal

Step 2. Open the database

Starting point algorithm:

Step 4. Collect all data in the category dinner.

Step 5. Filter on category expiration date.

Step 6. If the experience date is still correct, compare the left over data to the favorite meal that has been added.

Question: For tonight I want to eat one my favorite meals, are there any products that I still have at home and is there anything that I need to buy?

Step 7. Show the products that the user has at home and what they still need to buy to prepare one of their favorite meals.

Step 1. Choose one of the favorite meals

Step 3. Store data by meal

Step 4. Collect all data in the category dinner.

Step 5. Filter on category expiration date.

Step 6. If the experience date is still correct, compare the left over data to the favorite meal that has been added.
