Swipe to start coding
Manage a list of deli items by initializing, updating, and organizing them across different categories such as meats, cheeses, and condiments.
-
Initialize Lists:
- Create a list
meat
with the values:"Ham"
,3.99
,50

lists into a single list calleddeli_dept
.
- Combine
-
Restock Item:
- If
"Ham"
is in themeat

, update its quantity to100
.
- If
-
Add Seasonal Meat:
- Create a list
seasonal_meat
with the values:"Turkey"
,4.50
,100
,"Sliced"
; - Append
seasonal_meat
todeli_dept
.
- Create a list
-
Remove Condiment:
- Remove the
condiment
list fromdeli_dept
.
- Remove the
-
Sort List:
- Sort
deli_dept
alphabetically based on the first element of each sublist.
- Sort
Output Requirements
- Print the initial state of
deli_dept
with the message:"Initial Deli List: <$deli_dept>"
. - After all operations, print the updated state of
deli_dept
with the message:"Updated Deli List: <$deli_dept>"
.
Note
Sorting the list will be based on the first value of each sublist (e.g.,
"Ham"
,"Cheddar"
,"Turkey"
).
