Need some advice

CRBottini (26)
Sorry Here is my new post with code tags. New to the site.

I am working on a school assignment that is a convenience store. I have posted the assignment below for you to better understand:


This program is will be a simple simulation of a convenience store, though with only a few products from which to choose. Your store should simulate for the user the functionality of a real-world convenience store: different products to choose from, different prices for different products, a display of the total amount owed, a display of the amount paid (when the player has paid), and a display of the amount to refund (should your customer overpay). Do NOT let your customer "leave" your store until she/he provides adequate payment for the items selected. Upon the completion of a transaction, you should print a "receipt" of the transaction, including all of the details available about the transaction (items purchases and quantities, amount paid, amount in change, etc.).


I have provided my coding so far below. The problem I am having is starting on the receipt coding. I am stuck on what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please use code tags & indentation.

As for a receipt, I would start writing the information as they choose each item and just print it at the end rather than trying to create it all at once.

could you elaborate on this. I have worked with print functions, but how would I keep track of everything they purchase.
