Function Name malk

Inputs

1. ( char) The filename of a text file containing your shopping list

2. ( char) The filename of an Excel file containing a grocery store inventory

Outputs

1. (char) A string stating the total cost of your grocery store run

Background

It's Sunday night and you need a late night snack before you finish your CS 1371

homework. You pour a bowl of some Lucky Charms and just need to grab that sweet CAlcium -

but wait!! You milk has expired! It has gone bad - it has turned into: MALK! Now you need to go

to the grocery store and buy more milk, among other things.

Function Description

Given a grocery list text file with each line in the form: ' '

and an excel file that contains an inventory for the grocery store you are visiting. The first

column has the number of items in stock, the second column will have the item name, and the

third column has the price per unit (in dollars). Your job is to calculate the total cost of your

grocery store run and output the string 'My total will be $.' , where total always

has 2 decimal places.

Example

If the stores inventory is and your grocery list has,

8 Apples 2.08 Milk 1

5 Milk 4.02 eggs 12

36 Eggs .72

Then your function should output:

'My total will be $12.66.

Notes

The grocery list will have only 1 item per line, and each item will be one word

Case does not matter

You are guaranteed to find everything you need and the store will always have enough

You do NOT have to update the stores inventory

Hints

You should use %0.2f to put a number with 2 decimal points in a string.

Remember how certain string functions work on cell arrays.
