Challenge: Product Management Capstone

Congratulations on reaching this point in the course! In this capstone challenge, you will manage perishable products at a grocery store, determining discounts based on product expiration and stock levels. Your goal is to minimize waste while effectively maximizing sales through strategic discounting.

Let's see how well you can translate business rules into Python code!

Scenario

As a manager at a grocery store, you are responsible for implementing a discount strategy for perishable products based on their expiration date and stock levels.

The discount strategy is as follows:

Apply a 30% discount if the product expires in 3 days or less and the stock level is over 50 units;
Apply a 20% discount if the product expires in 4 to 6 days and the stock level is over 50 units;
Apply a 10% discount if the product expires in 7 days or more, or if the stock level is 50 units or less;
No discount if the product is not "Perishable".

Task

Swipe to start coding

Implement a series of conditional statements to determine the discount for a product based on its type, days until expiration, and stock level.

Start by checking if the product_type is "Perishable".
Inside this if statement:
- Apply a 30% discount if days_until_expiration is 3 or less and stock_level is greater than 50;
- Use elif to apply a 20% discount if days_until_expiration is between 4 and 6, and stock_level is greater than 50;
- Use another elif to apply a 10% discount if days_until_expiration is greater than 6 and stock_level is 50 or less.
If the product_type is not "Perishable", print "No discount available for non-perishable items.".

Output Requirements

If a 30% discount is applied, print: "30% discount applied!"
If a 20% discount is applied, print: "20% discount applied!"
If a 10% discount is applied, print: "10% discount applied!"
If the product is non-perishable, print: "No discount available for non-perishable items."

Note

You can nest multiple if statements within each other. Be sure to manage the indentation properly for each block.
