sum money in python

To sum money in Python, you need to use the decimal module to avoid any issues with floating-point arithmetic. Here's an example code snippet:

main.py
from decimal import Decimal

money_list = [Decimal('10.99'), Decimal('5.99'), Decimal('22.50')]

total_money = sum(money_list)

print(total_money)
147 chars
8 lines

In this code, we import the Decimal class from the decimal module. We create a list of Decimal objects representing the various amounts of money to be summed. We then use the built-in sum function to add up the amounts in the list and assign the result to the total_money variable. Finally, we print out the result, which should produce the sum of the money_list items as a Decimal object.
