How to use

Record the expense in expense.json

If an amount is shared by all the people, then you can leave “shared_by” empty

{
  "qian_yu": {
    "1": {
      "amount": 84.84, // 84.84 is shared by all
      "shared_by": []
    }
  }
}

If an amount is shared by some people, you should list their names in “shared_by”,
the name must be exactly the same in the file

{
  "liu_yang": {
    "1": {
      "amount": 710.77, // 710.77 is shared by all
      "shared_by": []
    },
    "2": {
      "amount": 149.19, // only liu_yang and liu_xinyu should pay for this amount
      "shared_by": ["liu_yang", "liu_xinyu"]
    }
  }
}

As you see, you can also set multiple records for the same person.

Run

python finance.py expense.json

If you are sure the result is right, run the following again to record the result to a txt file
