In Python 3 I have a program coded as below. It basically takes an input from a user and checks it against a list of tuples (EXCHANGE_DATA) and outputs a list of information. The problem is, is that the data has been sorted alphabetically when it is outputted and this is not the way I want it. How do I fix it?
from shares import EXCHANGE_DATA
portfolio_str=input("Please list portfolio: ")
portfolio_str= portfolio_str.replace(' ','')
portfolio_str= portfolio_str.upper()
portfolio_list= portfolio_str.split(',')
print()
print('{:<6} {:<20} {:>8}'.format('Code', 'Name', 'Price'))
for code, share_name, share_value in EXCHANGE_DATA:
if code in portfolio_list:
print('{:<6} {:<20} {:>8.2f}'.format(code, share_name, share_value))
Example input:
GPG,HNZ,DIL,FRE
The output should be as follows:
Please list portfolio: GPG,HNZ,DIL,FRE
Code Name Price
GPG Guinnesspeat 2.32
HNZ Heartland Nz 3.85
DIL Diligent 5.30
FRE Freightway 6.71
but I get:
Please list portfolio: GPG,HNZ,DIL,FRE
Code Name Price
DIL Diligent 5.30
FRE Freightway 6.71
GPG Guinnesspeat 2.32
HNZ Heartland Nz 3.85
UPDATED CODE
from shares import EXCHANGE_DATA
portfolio_str=input("Please list portfolio: ")
portfolio_str= portfolio_str.replace(' ','')
portfolio_str= portfolio_str.upper()
portfolio_list= portfolio_str.split(',')
print()
print('{:<6} {:<20} {:>8}'.format('Code', 'Name', 'Price'))
EXCHANGE_DATA = {code:(share_name,share_value) for code, share_name, share_value in EXCHANGE_DATA}
for code in portfolio_list:
share_name, share_value = EXCHANGE_DATA[code]
print('{:<6} {:<20} {:>8.2f}'.format(code, share_name, share_value))
