* '''Implementation time''': 1.5 hours.
 
* '''Experience''': 3 days.
 
* '''Comments''': I spent most of my time noodling on the syntax of Python and familiarizing myself with the documentation. I also spent some time getting the heap to work instead of taking multiple passes with that data. I originally said it took 2 hours, but I am bringing it down to 1.5 because I was eating dinner while and watching a movie while coding. Also, I came back later and spent a few minutes adding a verbosity feature as suggested in the problem statement.
 
 
=== Code ===
 
 
<code-python>
 
from heapq import heappush, heappop, nsmallest
 
 
verbose=False
 
filename = "gspc.txt"
 
 
days = []
 
 
for f in open(filename):
 
if f[0] == '#':
 
continue
 
linelist = f.split(' ')
 
heappush( days, linelist )
 
 
cash = 10000.00
 
previousClose = -1.0
 
currentClose = 0.00
 
 
shares = []
 
 
beginningBalance = cash
 
 
print "Beginning Balance:", cash
 
while days != []:
 
day = heappop( days )
 
i = day[0]
 
currentClose = float( day[4] )
 
 
if previousClose != -1.0:
 
percentGain = ( currentClose - previousClose ) / previousClose
 
if percentGain < -0.03:
 
numShares = 0.1 * cash / currentClose
 
heappush( shares, (currentClose, numShares) )
 
cash = 0.9 * cash
 
if verbose: print "On", i, ", bought" , numShares , "shares at" , currentClose , "."
 
 
else :
 
while shares != [] and nsmallest(1, shares)[0][0] <= currentClose / 1.06:
 
sell = heappop( shares )
 
cash += sell[1] * currentClose
 
if verbose: print "On", i, "sold" , sell[1] , "shares at" , currentClose , "."
 
 
previousClose = currentClose
 
 
while shares != []:

print "Beginning balance:", beginningBalance
 
print "Ending balance:", cash
 
print "Percent Gain:", (cash-beginningBalance)/beginningBalance*100, "%."
