This is another question I got.

It given a lists of items and price tags of them.
It wanted to print out a receipt.
However, I couldn't one shot print all at once...

Is there any code possible to store the Inputs then print ALL at once in a proper table (Or receipt)?

This is so far I managed to do:

prodcodes = ['AAA', 'BBB', 'CCC', 'DDD', 'EEE', 'FFF']
price = [5.00, 7.00, 2.30, 1.70, 9.00, 10.50]
n = len(prodcodes)
print("\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMyShop\n\n\t\t\t\tProdcode\tQuantity\tPrice\tAmount(RM)")
sum = 0

for i in range(n):
    line = str(input("Enter ProdCode (x to exit): "))
    line = line.upper()
    if line == 'X':
        break
    
    
    eqty = int(input("Enter Quantity: "))


    for i in range(n):
        
        if line == prodcodes[i]:
            
            amount = eqty * price[i]
            print("\n\t\t\t\t\t{0}\t\t{1}\t{2:.2f}\t{3:.2f}".format(prodcodes[i],eqty,price[i],amount))
            sum = sum + amount

print("\n\t\t\t\t\tTotal amount: {:.2f}".format(sum))

Much thanks! Big Grin

This is the output I was hoping for:

Output:                     MyShop
 Prodcode        Quantity        Price   Amount(RM)
 AAA             2               5.00    10.00
 DDD             4               1.70    6.80
 EEE             1               9.00    9.00
Total amount: 25.80

It's better and neater to keep all in functions.

This code operation is slightly different from your original,
It will continue allowing product and quantity information until you enter a quantity of 0 (or just press enter)
and then will print receipt

def print_heading():
    print('{:^50s}'.format("MyShop"))
    print('Prodcode        Quantity        Price   Amount(RM)\n')

def print_receipt(entry):
    total = float(entry[1] * entry[2])
    print('{:<16}{:<16}{:<8.2f}{:<8.2f}'.format(entry[0], entry[1], entry[2], total))
    return total

def my_purchases():
    prodcodes = ['AAA', 'BBB', 'CCC', 'DDD', 'EEE', 'FFF']
    prices = [5.00, 7.00, 2.30, 1.70, 9.00, 10.50]

    prods = []
    qty = 1

    while qty > 0:
        qty = (input("Enter Quantity: "))
        if qty == '' or qty == '0':
            break
        qty = int(qty)
        prod = input('Product code? ')
        if prod in prodcodes:
            price = prices[prodcodes.index(prod.strip())]
            prods.append([prod, qty, price])
        else:
            print('Invalid product code, try again')

    print_heading()
    total = 0
    for entry in prods:
        total += print_receipt(entry)
    print('Total: ${:<8.2f}'.format(total))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    my_purchases()

Wow, this is more than I expected.
Thanks!

I will try understand each rows of codes.

Hi sorry for this long...
I could only get like this...

prodcodes = ['AAA', 'BBB', 'CCC', 'DDD', 'EEE', 'FFF']
price = [5.00, 7.00, 2.30, 1.70, 9.00, 10.50]
n = len(prodcodes)
sum = 0
for a in range (n):
    newpcode = []
    new_qty = []
    newprice = []
    amount = []
    
    while True:
        prod = str(input("Enter ProdCode (x to exit): "))
        prod = prod.upper()
        if prod == 'X':
            break
        elif prod in prodcodes:
            i = prodcodes.index(prod.upper()) #Get corresponding index
            
            qty = int(input("Enter Quantity: "))
            while qty > 0:
                if qty == '0':
                    break
                else:
                    x = qty * price[i]
                    
                    newpcode.append(prod.upper())
                    new_qty.append(qty)
                    newprice.append(price[i])
                    amount.append(x)
                    
                    
                    break
            continue
    
    
    sum = sum + amount[a]
    print('\n\t\t\tMy Shop')
    print('\nProdCode\tQuantity\tPrice\tAmount (RM)')
    print('\n{0}\t\t{1}\t\t{2:.2f}\t   {3:.2f}'.format(newpcode[a],new_qty[a],newprice[a],amount[a]))
    break


print("\n\t\tTotal amount (RM): {:.2f}".format(sum))

The output:

Output:Enter ProdCode (x to exit): bbb

Enter Quantity: 2

Enter ProdCode (x to exit): ddd

Enter Quantity: 4

Enter ProdCode (x to exit): eee

Enter Quantity: 1

Enter ProdCode (x to exit): x

                        My Shop

ProdCode        Quantity        Price   Amount (RM)

BBB             2               7.00       14.00

                Total amount (RM): 14.00

Why am I printing one item only although I inputted 3 items?
HELP!
THANKS AGAIN

Is there a reason why you are avoiding functions?
They make writing code so much easier to debug, and if written properly can be used over and over in same project, or new projects. When you have several reusable functions that are related, then it makes sense to containerize them into a class for even more flexibility.
Go back and reexamine post 2. After each product is enetred, it's added to a list. After you have entered the last item, the list is printed.

I am not really sure how to use function actually and the lecturer did not teach function that much...
Your code is cool! But I don't think I could explain to my lecturer how I did it. So, I try to avoid using "function"...

But, I would like to enter the ProdCode first then enter the Quantity. Therefore, I change to the simple ones Big Grin

So sorry to disappoint you, sir.

So I checked back...
My careless mistake sorry.
May I ask sir could explain this part?

    my_purchases()

That line I couldn't understand.
Other codes I could briefly understand.
Sorry...

These comments are the questions...
Thank you and sorry once again.

PS: Make some changes just for my knowledge ***Big Grin***

You write functions when there is repeated code. So you write it in a function and when you need it again you just call that function.
Functions can take parameters and return objects.

from random import randint

title = 'My table'
col_names = ['col_1', 'col_2', 'col_3', 'col_4']
data = [[randint(1,10000) for _ in range(4)] for _ in range(randint(1,10))] # creating the data

def prow(seq):
    row = "{:>10}" * 4 # produces this string "{:>10}{:>10}{:>10}{:>10}"
    print(row.format(*seq))
    
def prt_all(title, columns, data):
    print("{:^40}".format(title))
    prow(columns)
    print("-" * 40)

    for row in data:
        prow(row)

    return 4 * len(data) # returns number of the elements in the table

el_num = prt_all(title, col_names, data) # you call the function passing the column names, the data and the table title
print("\nThere are {} elements in the table.".format(el_num))

Output:           My table                
     col_1     col_2     col_3     col_4
----------------------------------------
      5717      3373      9148      2651
        95      1318      7566      2413

There are 8 elements in the table.

Thanks for the clarification!
However, I am still confused with the code...
Especially this part:

if __name__ == '__main__':  #This code I couldn't understand
    my_purchases()

If I change this:

if __name__ == '__main__':  #This code I couldn't understand
    my_purchases()

To this:

print(my_purchases())

The output will have a "None" word...

Output:Product code (x to exit): aaa

Enter Quantity: 2

Product code (x to exit): x
                      MyShop                      
Prodcode        Quantity        Price   Amount(RM)

AAA             1               5.00    5.00    
Total: $5.00    
None

May I know why?

Every python script can be imported as a module.

When the script is running as a program, Python sets the __name__ variable to contain "__main__".

So if the __name__ is equal to "__main__", the next code block is executed.
In your case this is 'my_purchases' function, which runs all.

If the file is imported as a module that special variable __name__ is set to the module ( imported python file ) name without the extension and the code block after the if statement is not executed.

Thankssssssssssss!!

If any new people to python. could refers this website!
