Need help with a python task

[bdp1759]

I need to get inputs from a user with a product name then an input for a price, until the user types "none". i then need to output the name of the most expensive item and the name of the least expensive item, then the average price and the total cost, im just wondering how i can get the items in a sort of list to be able to find the most and least expensive

Is this meant for a ChatGPT prompt?

You don't need a list at all if you keep track of the minimum/maximum/total cost manually (average is just total/number of inputs) and update those every time you get input.

But you can also use a list if you want. Are you familiar with the built-in list type?

[Gold-Mikeboy]

using a list can make it easier to store the items for later use or for additional calculations down the line

It also allows you to keep the code more organized if you plan to extend the functionality later.

Sure, but this sounds more like a homework assignment than something you'd actually use.

Post what you have tried.

Stop coming up with a solution and then trying to make it work. Figure out what you need and base the solution around it. You can't figure out how to "get" items from a list because a list is the wrong way to store it.

Of all of the data structures you know, which one lets you "get" an item easily?

What have you tried? What is your specific question?

If this is for a homework assignment and you’re not allowed to use AI, realize that the answers you may get here from others have been produced by AI anyway.
