Lesson 6 - beginner exercise

For each scenario write code to solve it.

Scenario - Deduct stock when a product has been purchased. If the stock level is below a a threshold value then new stock is ordered.

stockLevel = 50
stockTresh = 10
isOnOrder = false

def deductStock(amount):
	if stockLevel - amount > 0:
		stockLevel -= amount
	if stockLevel < stockTresh and (not isOnorder):
		stockLevel += 100
		isOnOrder = true

Scenario - Take a set of values (text or numbers) and print it as a list in HTML (eg ["hi", "bye"] would become <ul><li> hi </li><li> bye </li></ul>

listOfValues = ["cookie", "cake", "muffin"]
output = ""
output += "
"
for i in listOfValues:
	line = "
" + i + "
"
	output += line
output += "
"

Scenario - Take a list of money values (in uk pounds) and convert them into american dollars. Add up the all of the converted values and output the result.

listOfValues = [20,76,32,12,76]
total = 0
convertRate = 1.5
for i in listOfValues:
	total = total + (convertRate * i)

print total
