In Python:

Create a two functions: first called grocery_cost(food), where food can be one item or a list of items from the stock and price dictionaries, the second is called stock_check(stock_list) where a store manager can check if stock numbers are at a minimum value.

grocery_cost: loops through the argument food, notes the price, checks the stock, calculates and prints the total cost and changes the stock number. You will need to use a for statement to loop through the items in food and an if statement to check and update the stock (substract one from the stock for each item in the stock).

stock_check: loops through each item in the stock dictionary and uses an if-statement to print a statement if stock is less than 5.

Given:

stock_key={'tomato soup':20,'cheese':10,'milk':25,'oreos':100,'red bull':0,'apples':17,'oranges':4} price_key={'tomato soup':1.85,'cheese':3.99,'milk':4,'oreos':7.49,'red bull':0.99,'apples':0.59,'oranges':1.29}
