Variable number of arguments

Sometimes we do not know how many arguments we want to pass into a function. This is where it is handy to allow an unlimited number of arguments, whether we want to pass 1 or 100.

This is possible using the ellipsis operator ....

In this exercise, write a function stock_to_buy that takes a variable number of arguments and then calls the function passing in four different arguments.
