Challenge: Solo Coding Capstone
In this chapter, it's time to challenge your coding abilities. You'll be presented with a task, but this time it's up to you to determine the solution. You can use any syntax and techniques you've learned so far, but it's highly recommended to use loops and conditional statements to make your code flexible and adaptable to different inputs and scenarios.
Task
Swipe to start coding
Evaluate items in an inventory dictionary and print appropriate messages based on their stock levels and pricing.
- Loop through each item in the
inventorydictionary. - For each item:
- If stock is below 30, print that it needs restocking.
- If stock is above 100, print that it should be sold at the discounted price.
- If stock is 30 to 100, print that it should be sold at the regular price.
Output Requirements
Use the following template print statements exactly:
- For restocking:
f"{item} need restocking." - For discounted price:
f"{item} should be sold at the discounted price of {discounted_price}." - For regular price:
f"{item} should be sold at the regular price of {regular_price}."
Note
Follow the print formats exactly to ensure your solution is accepted.

# Inventory dictionary with stock, price, and discount price
inventory = {
"Bread": [42, 1.20, 0.99],
"Eggs": [225, 2.12, 1.99],
"Apples": [9, 1.50, 1.35]
}
# Loop through the inventory and evaluate conditions
for item in inventory:
stock = inventory[item][0]
regular_price = inventory[item][1]
discounted_price = inventory[item][2]
if stock < 30:
print(f"{item} need restocking.")
elif stock > 100:
print(f"{item} should be sold at the discounted price of {discounted_price}.")
else:
print(f"{item} should be sold at the regular price of {regular_price}.")
Everything was clear?
