[BethanyG]

This issue is for improvements & changes needed to the inventory-management concept exercise on the Python track.

Goals

Improve the Inventory-management (dicts) concept exercise by adding the dict.pop() method & creation via dict literal to the tasks the student has to complete. Make other improvement changes as noted below:

• [ ] Edit design.md doc to add dict.pop() to the design
• [ ] Edit Introduction.md to add dict.pop() usage.
• [ ] Edit instructions.md to add new tasks:
  • creation of dict literals
  • using dict.pop()
• [ ] Add appropriate hint as needed in hints.md for dict.pop() usage
• [ ] Edit exemplar.py to include new idiomatic solution for newly added tasks
• [ ] Edit dicts_test.py file to add new tests for dict.pop() task.
• [ ] Edit dicts.py stub file to add new tasks.
• [ ] Edit test file to explicitly list imported functions/methods by name instead of using import *
• [ ] Check/edit all markdown files to conform to the Exercism Markdown Specifications

Is this task still unfinished?

[BethanyG]

Hi @mukeshgurpude 👋🏽 This task is indeed unfinished. I was in the middle of it when we went to launch, so I have a half finished PR. I'd love some help, if you'd like to join in? Just let me know, and I can flag it as [claimed] for you.

[mukeshgurpude]

I would like to help on this task. I would start working on this task later in the day. Could you please update the links about Markdown style guides in Issue description, they are giving me 404 now🤔.

[BethanyG]

The task is all yours! And thank you for taking it on! 🌟

I am going to go ahead and PR what I have and flag it as a draft. You should then be able to make commits to it. Or not. Your choice! You can also start over from the top, if you prefer. 😄

Could you please update the links about Markdown style guides in Issue description, they are giving me 404 now🤔.

Yes. Apologies! All the links should now be updated to go to the nicely formatted website docs. LMK if you have additional questions or issues. I should be available until midnight pacific.

[mukeshgurpude]

Hello @BethanyG. Since there is already a pull request from your fork to the upstream, I thought of pushing changes to your fork only.. I've opened a pull request https://github.com/BethanyG/python/pull/15, but maybe you missed it by chance..

[BethanyG]

@mukeshgurpude -- Oh no! I *did miss it! 😱 so sorry. I will take a look right now. Thanks!

[mukeshgurpude]

@BethanyG as related PR is merged, we should close this issue now.

@mukeshgurpude -- thank you for the reminder! 😂 I have one too many things to do, and forgot this.
