Task 1: Scraping and Storing Multi-City Weather Foreacsts
This task involves scraping 7-day weather forecasts for a predefined set of cities from China Weather (http://www.weather.com.cn) and persisting the data into a local SQLite database.

Outcome: The script successfully fetches the 7-day forecasts for Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, storing each day's date, weather condition, and temperature in the SQLite data base table forecast. The primary key (city, forecast_date) ensures no duplicate entries for the same city and date.

Outcome: The script calls the East Money API to retrieve a list of stock quotes. It extracts key fields such as stock symbol, company name, latest price, percentage change, and trading volume. The data is formatted, printed to the console, and inserted into the stock_quotes table in the SQLite database.

Outcome: The script downloads the JavaScript payload containing obfuscated university data. It extracts the relevant data strings for rank, name, province, category, and score. Using a pre-constructed mapping dictionary, it decodes the abbreviated variable names into their actual values (e.g., converting "a" to "" or "b" to "false"). The decoded data for each university is then printed and stored in the rankings table of the SQLite database, preserving the ranking order.
