2. A function share is defined to get the latest share price of the company.
3. The link of the site to get the price is stored in a variable named share_link.
4. The site(stored in the variable share_link) returns the latest value of the company by using the command urllib2.urlopen(share_link) and it is stored in the variable share_value.
5. The share value of the company is being read by the command share_value.read() and is stored in the variable s.
6. The share value of the company is printed by the print command.
