# Exercise 1.6 - Solution
## (b) Main Module
```python
# pcost.py
def portfolio_cost(filename):
total_cost = 0.0
with open(filename) as f:
for line in f:
fields = line.split()
try:
nshares = int(fields[1])
price = float(fields[2])
total_cost = total_cost + nshares * price
# This catches errors in int() and float() conversions above
except ValueError as e:
print("Couldn't parse:", line)
print("Reason:", e)
return total_cost
if __name__ == '__main__':
print(portfolio_cost('Data/portfolio.dat'))
```
