Displaying the Final Receipt

Part of the Logic & Flow section of Coddy's Dart journey — lesson 37 of 65.

Challenge

Easy

Create a program that completes the shopping cart calculator project by generating a comprehensive final receipt that displays all transaction details in a professional format. Building on the previous lesson's discount system, your program should:

Use the existing product catalog Map and shopping cart functionality from the previous setup
Read multiple string inputs representing items that customers want to add to their cart (the input will end when you receive "cart_done")
For each item, check if it exists in the product catalog using containsKey() and add valid items to the cart
Calculate the subtotal by summing up all item prices in the cart
Read a string input representing the discount threshold amount
Read a string input representing the discount percentage to apply
Apply the discount only if the subtotal meets or exceeds the threshold amount
Calculate the discount amount and final total after applying the discount
Read a string input representing the customer name
Read a string input representing the transaction ID
Generate and display a complete receipt with all transaction details in the exact format shown below

For example, if the store has products "Apple" at 1.50, "Banana" at 0.80, "Orange" at 2.00, "Milk" at 3.25, customers want to add "Apple", "Orange", "Milk", "Apple", the discount threshold is 5.00, the discount percentage is 10, the customer name is "John Smith", and the transaction ID is "TXN001", your program should output:

Shopping Cart Operations:
Adding 'Apple': Item added to cart successfully
Adding 'Orange': Item added to cart successfully
Adding 'Milk': Item added to cart successfully
Adding 'Apple': Item added to cart successfully
Cart Contents: [Apple, Orange, Milk, Apple]
Cost Calculation:
Apple: $1.50
Orange: $2.00
Milk: $3.25
Apple: $1.50
Subtotal: $8.25
Discount Analysis:
Threshold: $5.00
Discount Rate: 10%
Subtotal ($8.25) meets threshold requirement
Discount Applied: $0.83
Final Total: $7.42

If the store has products "Laptop" at 999.99, "Mouse" at 25.50, "Keyboard" at 75.00, customers want to add "Mouse", "Keyboard", the discount threshold is 150.00, the discount percentage is 15, the customer name is "Sarah Johnson", and the transaction ID is "TXN002", your program should output:

========================================

Your program must format the final receipt with proper alignment and spacing. Use string interpolation to display all transaction details including customer information, itemized purchases, pricing calculations, and summary statistics. The receipt should include fixed values for date (2024-01-15), time (14:30:25), and payment method (Cash). Format all monetary values to show exactly 2 decimal places. Calculate the items count using the cart length and unique products by converting the cart to a Set. The input format will be: item names to add to the cart ending with "cart_done", followed by the discount threshold amount, discount percentage, customer name, and transaction ID (all as strings).
