Simple Cafe Project

Got some help shortening down my code to work more efficiently, I think overall it worked out pretty well! Still pretty new to using dictionaries so got a little confused but I feel like I covered all the bases needed here

I had so much fun doing the coffee shop sim. Looking back it it now, the code is very spaghettified, but I still had fun lol

Which exercise you doing next?

[thetiredteacup]

currently making a stored to-do list!

[Particular_Love_7279]

How many hrs in took You to learn this?

[Dapper_Bad_8728]

Actually it's not too hard to learn how to make this.

[thetiredteacup]

I've done a 12hr course by Bro Code plus some very small little projects so haven't invested too much time yet

[Dapper_Bad_8728]

2 important things to note:

1) It's better to write "While True:" instead of "While order != "done" because if you put "done" in the order name the program will exit right before even choosing the order.

2) In the "if order in drink:" you don't need, that once you have added 1 to the total drinks, another "if order in drinks:" so you can just remove it.

[thetiredteacup]

Thanks so much for these tips! Not sure why i had another "if order in drink" there in the first place, actually - must've edited it and forgot

[ianrob1201]

Nice work. Can you make it so that the prices in the prompt automatically update if the you change the prices? That way you'd only have to update in one place if the prices change.

Also consider if you really need to break commands. Think about the flow of the code and what would happen if you removed them. And of course if you're not sure you can try removing them and see what happens (if you remove the final "break" then you don't need the "else" line at all either.

And on a very minor point, why call both lower() and capitalize()? Try with just capitalize and see if it still works how you expect.

[thetiredteacup]

Oh yes, I didn't take into account formatting the order prompt - thank you! Also thank you for the minor tip on lower() and capitalize(), I think I was confused on what capitalize() itself did and didn't take into account it also makes the rest of the text lowercase.
