Write an expression to print each price in stock_prices. Sample output with inputs: 34.62 76.30 85.05

Answer:

Below is the Python code:

stock_prices = input().split() #this takes input and separates it into a list

for price in stock_prices: #this loops through each stock price

   print("$",price) #this outputs each stock price prefixed by a dollar sign

Explanation:

The logic behind the program is clearly outlined in the attached comments. To illustrate the program's workings, let's consider an example:

Imagine the user inputs the stock_prices values of

34.62 76.30 85.05

The input() method captures user input, while the split() method divides the input string, providing a list of strings as:

['34.62', '76.30', '85.05']

Following that, the loop statement for price in stock_prices: iterates through each item in the list, and print("$",price) displays each value from the list on the output screen with a dollar sign, as follows:

$ 34.62                                                                                                            

$ 76.30                                                                                                            

$ 85.05
