From the lesson: Python Input and Output: print(), input(), and Formatting

Every program needs a way to talk to the outside world. A weather app shows temperatures. A game displays your score. A calculator prints answers. All of these use output.

Read the lesson

Create a formatted receipt with the following items and prices. Use f-string alignment to left-align item names (20 characters wide) and right-align prices (8 characters wide, 2 decimal places). Include a header, separator, and total.

Items:

Laptop: 999.99

Mouse: 29.50

Keyboard: 74.99

Expected output:

      TECH STORE
