- Python
Practice using Python dictionaries, functions, and loops to build an interactive food ordering app that manages a user's cart.
Overview
In this project, you'll take on the role of a restaurant owner looking to build an application for customers to directly order food. The app should display available menu options with prices, and allow users to add or remove items, modify quantities, and view their cart total.
You'll leverage your Python skills to bring this app to life, using dictionaries to associate menu items with prices and quantities, loops to calculate order totals, and functions to handle the core ordering system. Through hands-on practice, you'll gain valuable experience in applying Python fundamentals to solve a real-world business need.
Objective: Use Python dictionaries, loops, and functions to develop an interactive food ordering app, providing a seamless user experience from menu viewing to final checkout.
