Assignment 1-2

Coding (Stock Transactions)

For the second half of your assignment this week we need to get down to writing some code.

Follow the same process from Assignment 1 Github to clone and save your code in a feature branch on your fork. You will then open a PR with your source code for review.

Here is what you will build:
Stock Transaction Program

Last month Joe purchased some stock in Acme Software, Inc. Here are the details of the purchase:

  • The number of shares that Joe purchased was 1,000.
  • When Joe purchased the stock, he paid $45.50 per share.
  • Joe paid his stockbroker a commission that amounted to 2% of the amount he paid for the stock.

Two weeks later Joe sold the stock. Here are the details of the sale:

  • The number of shares that Joe sold was 1,000.
  • He sold the stock for $56.90 per share.
  • He paid his stockbroker another commission that amounted to 2% of the amount he received for the stock.

Write a program that displays the following information:

  • The amount of money Joe paid for the stock.
  • The amount of commission Joe paid his broker when he bought the stock.
  • The amount that Joe sold the stock for.
  • The amount of commission Joe paid his broker when he sold the stock.
  • Display the amount of profit that Joe made after selling his stock and paying the two commissions to his broker. (If the amount of profit that your program displays is a negative number, then Joe lost money on the transaction.)
How to write the program:
  • Use Named Constants for things like:
    • SHARES_BOUGHT
    • SHARES_SOLD
    • COMMISSION_RATE
    • PURCHASE_PRICE
    • SALE_PRICE
  • Place all of your logic in the main function
