Question

The task is broken down into three sections.

Section 1 - User Input

Section 2 - loop through the grocery list

Section 3 - provide output to the console

#Task: Create the empty data structure

grocery_item = {}

grocery_history = []

#Variable used to check if the while loop condition is met stop = False

while not stop :

#Accept input of the name of the grocery item purchased.

name = input("Item Name:n")

#Accept input of the quantity of the grocery item purchased.

quantity = input("Quantity Purchased:n")

#Accept input of the cost of the grocery item input (this is a per-item cost).

cost = input("Price per item:n")

#Using the update function format a dictionary entry which contains the name, number and price entered by the user.

grocery_item = {'item_name':(name), 'quantity':int(quantity), 'cost':float(cost)}

#Add the grocery_item to the grocery_history list using the append function

grocery_history.append(grocery_item)

#Accept input from the user asking if they have finished entering grocery items.

response = input("Would you like to enter another item?n Type 'c' to continue or 'q' to quit:n")

if response == 'q':

stop = True

# Define variable to hold grand total called 'grand_total'

grand_total = 0

#Define a 'for' loop.

for item in grocery_history:

#Calculate the total cost for the grocery_item.

item_total = item['quantity'] * item['cost']

#Add the item_total to the grand_total

grand_total += item_total

#Output the information for the grocery item to match this example:

#2 apple @ $1.49 ea $2.98

print("{} {} @ ${} {}" .format (item['quantity'], item['name'], item['cost'], item_total))

#Set the item_total equal to 0

item_total = 0

#Print the grand total

print ("Grand Total: $%f" %grand_total)
