Question

IN PYTHON

Write a function called "def top_prices(prices, n):", which will take two arguments. The first argument is the list of prices, each price should be a number type (int, float). The second argument 'n' indicates top number of prices. For example, if n-3, this function should return a new list of the top 3 prices, sorted from lowest to highest. If n-10, this function should return a new list of the top 10 prices, sorted from lowest to highest. This function should not change the original 'prices' pass in This function should return a list

The following is the list of prices: [16.13, 32.2, 11.65, 39, 13.83, 25.33, 4.99, 13.1, 150, 37.81, 4.81, 4, 32 08, 12.66, 19.54, 48.52, 65.92, 18.2, 13.09, 19.32, 7.63, 2.23, 116.12, 3 66, 73.45, 54.71, 80.07, 15.99, 30.88, 10.91, 87.7, 6.34, 5.36, 20.66, 62 .05, 88.98, 4. 3, 63.42, 3.89, 34.01, 28.42, 4.69, 15.3, 55.22, 43.48, 11.7 3, 167.05, 11.17, 18.84, 44.31, 19.38, 29.38, 21.84, 57.59, 41.42, 23.91, 145.28, 14.76, 75.5, 2.32, 112.19, 38.87, 55.61, 13.35, 27.4, 6.49, 40.94, 8.66, 6.59, 45.73, 34.53, 8.47, 71.03, 108.39, 37.06]

Answer 1

def top_prices(prices, n):
    lst = [x for x in prices]
    lst.sort()
    return lst[-n:]


#Testing
prices = [16.13, 32.2, 11.65, 39, 13.83, 25.33, 4.99, 13.1, 150, 37.81, 4.81, 4, 32.08, 12.66, 19.54, 48.52, 65.92, 18.2, 13.09, 19.32, 7.63, 2.23, 116.12, 3.66, 73.45, 54.71, 80.07, 15.99, 30.88, 10.91, 87.7, 6.34, 5.36, 20.66, 62.05, 88.98, 4.3, 63.42, 3.89, 34.01, 28.42, 4.69, 15.3, 55.22, 43.48, 11.73, 167.05, 11.17, 18.84, 44.31, 19.38, 29.38, 21.84, 57.59, 41.42, 23.91, 145.28, 14.76, 75.5, 2.32, 112.19, 38.87, 55.61, 13.35, 27.4, 6.49, 40.94, 8.66, 6.59, 45.73, 34.53, 8.47, 71.03, 108.39, 37.06]
print(top_prices(prices, 3))
print(top_prices(prices, 10))
