Write a pure function
It's time to write your first pure function! You've been working with some data that contains price information for all of the items in your company's inventory. What you didn't realize when you started, however, was that all of the price information is in cents when you expected it to be in dollars. You are going to need to write a function to convert all of the prices from cents to dollars by dividing the values by 100. Make sure you don't create any side effects or rely on any values outside of the function!
