array-and-hashmapProblem URL: Apply discount to prices
We will split the sentence into words. Then we will iterate through the words, and for each word, if we found a word with the $
prefix, we will replace the amount with the discounted amount. Otherwise, we will just append the word to the result.
class Solution:
def discountPrices(self, sentence: str, discount: int) -> str:
strings = sentence.split(' ')
result = []
for string in strings:
if string[0] == '$':
tmp = string[1:]
tmp.replace('.', '')
if tmp.isdigit():
new = (float) (string[1:]) * ((100-discount)/100)
new = "$" + "{:.2f}".format(new)
result.append(new)
else:
result.append(string)
else:
result.append(string)
return " ".join(result)
