Farallon Capital Management tracks portfolio holdings as arrays of {type, quantity} objects. Given your holdings and a friend's holdings, calculate the quantity of each item you must buy or sell so your portfolio has the same proportions as your friend's portfolio.
Preserve the total quantity of your portfolio. For every item type, compute the target quantity as your_total * friend_quantity / friend_total. The required adjustment is target_quantity - your_quantity: positive means buy, negative means sell, and zero means no action. An item absent from one portfolio has quantity zero. Return one result for every item type, sorted alphabetically by type.
Use fractional quantities when the proportional target is not an integer. Return objects with fields type and amount, and round each amount to at most 10 decimal places.
Input consists of two lists of objects: yours and friend, where each object has a string type and a nonnegative numeric quantity. Item types are unique within each list. Return a list of objects containing every type from either input.
