10.2.1. Monthly Sales#
Write a Python program that collects monthly sales data from the user
and stores it in a list. The program should then use matplotlib
to
plot the sales values as a pie chart. When plotting, specify the color of the
pie slices using Purdue’s retired secondary color palette shown in
Table 10.1. The pie chart should include a title (replacing
login with your Purdue login), and every slice in the chart should be labeled
with the name of the month it represents.

Sample Output#
Save the resulting figure as monthly_sales_login.pdf
and save
your Python program as monthly_sales_login.py
, where login is your Purdue login. Then
submit both of them along with a screenshot of a run of your program using the test data.
Use the values in Table 10.2 below to test your program.
