Question

Write an if/else statement that compares sold_yesterday and sold_today, and based upon that comparison assigns sales_trend the value -1 (the case where sold_yesterday is greater than sold_today) or 1.

Answer 1

sold_yesterday = float(input("sold yesterday = "))
sold_today = float(input("sold today = "))
sales_trend = int
if sold_yesterday > sold_today:
    sales_trend = -1
else:
    sales_trend = 1
print("sales trend: {}".format(sales_trend))
