Challenge: Inventory Sorting Capstone

Great job mastering variables, data types, slicing, and concatenation!

Now, let's apply your new skills to a realistic scenario involving organizing new grocery store inventory.

Task

Swipe to start coding

Manage a grocery store inventory by extracting item names and categories using string slicing, assigning prices, and printing formatted statements.

  • Slice the items string to extract:
    • "Bubblegum" → candy1
    • "Chocolate" → candy2
    • "Pasta" → dry_goods
  • Slice the categories string to extract:
    • "Candy Aisle" → category1
    • "Pasta Aisle" → category2
  • Create price variables:
    • bubblegum_price = $1.50
    • chocolate_price = $2.00
    • pasta_price = $5.40
  • Use print() to display item names, prices, and categories.

Output Requirements

Print the following:

  • We have <candy1> for <bubblegum_price> in the <category1>
  • We have <candy2> for <chocolate_price> in the <category1>
  • We have <dry_goods> for <pasta_price> in the <category2>
