Answer:
price = input("Please enter stock prices: ")
x = price.split(",")
min = int(x[0])
max = int(x[0])
for i in x:
if int(i) < min:
min=int(i)
if int(i) > max:
max=int(i)
index = x.index(str(max))
print("Highest price: "+str(max)+" ocurred on day # "+str(index))
index = x.index(str(min))
print("Lowest price: "+str(min)+" ocurred on day # "+str(index))
Explanation:
This solution is implemented in Python
This prompts user for stock prices
price = input("Please enter stock prices: ")
This places the price in a list
x = price.split(",")
The next two lines initialize the lowest and highest to stock at index 0
<em>min = int(x[0])</em>
<em>max = int(x[0])</em>
This iterates through the list
for i in x:
The following if statement checks for the lowest
<em> if int(i) < min:</em>
<em> min=int(i)</em>
The following if statement checks for the highest
<em> if int(i) > max:</em>
<em> max=int(i)</em>
This gets the day for the highest stock
index = x.index(str(max))
This prints the highest price and the day it occurred
print("Highest price: "+str(max)+" ocurred on day # "+str(index))
This gets the day for the lowest stock
index = x.index(str(min))
This prints the lowest price and the day it occurred
print("Lowest price: "+str(min)+" ocurred on day # "+str(index))
