The Assignment

This Python exam will involve implementing a system for managing expenses.  You will download the skeleton of the program, then implement the functions/methods.  The design of the program has been set up for you.

In this system, users will be able to add and deduct expenses, update expenses, sort expenses, and export filtered expenses to a file.  The program will initially load a collection of expenses from 2 different .txt files (in the same format) and store them in a dictionary.

b.   Docstrings have already been provided

c.   Add comments to your code

d.   You can create any number of helper methods (with docstrings).

e.   The main function in expenses.py has already been implemented for you. DO NOT CHANGE THE CODE IN MAIN.

2.   Test your code by running (and passing) all of the provided test cases in the given expenses_test.py.
