Question

Orders for a stock trading system are coded as follows from left to right: 1. The first character is 'B' for a "buy" order, 'S' for a "sell" order. 2. The number of shares to buy or sell. 3. The stock ticker symbol in all uppercase letters for a "buy" order or all lowercase letters for a "sell" order. 4. If the order is a "limit" order with a specific buy/sell price, the requested price is in pennies; otherwise, the price should be omitted, and the order will be a market order at the current asking price for the stock. 5. If the order is a "limit" order with an expiration time, the character 'T' followed by the number of minutes until the order expires should no longer be executed. Note that the order code may only contain letters and numbers. (No comma, hyphen, etc) What would the code be to sell 8000 shares of Veteran Technology Solutions stock (ticker symbol: VTS) at the current market price?
