	At the risk of irritating the other regulars... If you've completed it,
why not show us your Python code so we may review it? I presume you did do
it in Python.

	I'm not going to show my code -- mainly as I just spent today writing a
solution in REXX. But I will show the results of running said code. My
solution is GENERAL in that it handles
1	variable number of periods in the plan
2	variable number of periods in the actual (partial day)
3	the case where the mis-feed is not the last item in actual
4	the case where the actual matches the plan (no mis-feed)
5	the case where the mis-feed is a shortage (underfed)
6	the case where the mis-feed is an overage (overfed)
7	the case where multiple mis-feeds cancel out (not shown below)

-=-=-	Your example schedule and feed amounts
C:\Users\Wulfraed\Documents\_Hg-Repositories\REXX>rexx feedme.rex

Enter planned feeding schedule (feed units for each time period, space
separated)
150 100 30 30 30 20 20 10 5 5

Enter actual feeding schedule up to current feed period
150 60

PLAN    :  10 time periods 400 total feed units
ACTUAL  :  2 time periods 210 total feed units dispensed
MIS-FEED:  40 underfed

SCHEDULE:  150 60 39 38 38 25 25 13 6 6

-=-=-	Same, but the mis-feed was not discovered until after the 3rd
period
C:\Users\Wulfraed\Documents\_Hg-Repositories\REXX>rexx feedme.rex

Enter planned feeding schedule (feed units for each time period, space
separated)
150 100 30 30 30 20 20 10 5 5

Enter actual feeding schedule up to current feed period
150 60 30

PLAN    :  10 time periods 400 total feed units
ACTUAL  :  3 time periods 240 total feed units dispensed
MIS-FEED:  40 underfed

SCHEDULE:  150 60 30 40 40 27 27 13 7 6

-=-=-	An example were the mis-feed was in the other direction
C:\Users\Wulfraed\Documents\_Hg-Repositories\REXX>rexx feedme.rex

Enter planned feeding schedule (feed units for each time period, space
separated)
150 100 30 30 30 20 20 10 5 5

Enter actual feeding schedule up to current feed period
150 120

PLAN    :  10 time periods 400 total feed units
ACTUAL  :  2 time periods 270 total feed units dispensed
MIS-FEED:  20 overfed

SCHEDULE:  150 120 27 26 26 17 17 9 4 4

-=-=-	Finally, an example where there was no mis-feed
C:\Users\Wulfraed\Documents\_Hg-Repositories\REXX>rexx feedme.rex

Enter planned feeding schedule (feed units for each time period, space
separated)
150 100 30 30 30 20 20 10 5 5

Enter actual feeding schedule up to current feed period
150 100

PLAN    :  10 time periods 400 total feed units
ACTUAL  :  2 time periods 250 total feed units dispensed
MIS-FEED:  0 on schedule
