Stages of the project
Within our project, several steps were done
1
Formulating the idea
Within this stage the plan of the project was formulated. It was needed in order to understand the volume of the work and the following steps
2
Writing a program
On this step the program was needed to be written in the Python and without this stage the whole project would be meaningless
3
Implementing the bot in VK
The final stage. This is where the group in VK was created in order to make our chatbot and download the token from it

Implementation
The bot is working in 24/7 mode. There is some information about the bot :
Bot is able to process both the text and number inputs. However, the inputs should be correct without any mistakes
The capitalization of letters does not matter. The bot processes all types of letter capitalization.
The response time of the bot is pretty fast, but because of the fact that it is placed on the free server, sometimes the first message from the bot could take some time.
The bot itself is a group in VK. Therefore, to start a conversation it is needed to write to the group first.
