// (1) Complete the function that is given a list of floats
// and calculuates the indices for when to buy the commodity

// an example
//val prices = List(28.0, 18.0, 20.0, 26.0, 24.0)
//assert(trade_times(prices) == (1, 3), "the trade_times test fails")


// (2) Complete the ``get webpage'' function that takes a
// a stock symbol as argument and queries the Yahoo server
// at
//      http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=<<insert stock symbol>>
// 
// This servive returns a CSV-list that needs to be separated into
// a list of strings.

def get_page(symbol: String): List[String] = ...

// (3) Complete the function that processes the CSV list
// extracting the dates and anjusted close prices. The

// the dates for when to buy and sell the stocks of that company.

def query_company(symbol: String): (String, String) =
