#mini project: Expense Tracker

#Question/problem statement: create a console-based expense tracker program in python that allows the user to record daily expenses abd view summaries like total spending. use only the concepts learned till chapter6(loop,copnditions,lists,dictionaries,basic input/output).

#project details/ description:

#the program should allow the user to:
#1.add an expense with details like date,category,description,and amount.
#2.view all recorded expenses.
#3.calculate total spending so far.
#4.exit the program gracefully when the user chooses to.

#all tasks must be implemented using loops,if-else,lists,and dictuonaries on;ly.no user-defined function or file handling should be used.

expenses=[ ] #list of expenses in form of dictionaries
