 Notes:

• What problem does it solve?: Helps businesses or individuals track and categorize expenses.

• How can businesses benefit from customizing the code?: Customize categories and set budgets for each category to better manage cash flow and cut unnecessary spending.

• How can businesses adopt the solution further?: Integrate the tool with accounting software to track expenses in real time and send alerts when expenses exceed set limits.

Actual Python Code:

import pandas as pd

class ExpenseTracker:

    def __init__(self):

        self.expenses = []

    def add_expense(self, date, category, amount):

        self.expenses.append({'Date': date, 'Category': category, 'Amount': amount})

    def get_expenses(self):

        return pd.DataFrame(self.expenses)

    def categorize_expenses(self):

        df = self.get_expenses()

        return df.groupby('Category')['Amount'].sum()
