Embark on a coding journey with this engaging Python programming assignment for an automatic cash register, tailored for Teachers Pay Teachers. I have my students use codeskulptor for their coding.

Students are tasked with creating a program for a simplified store selling five items, guiding them through essential coding concepts. The project's core requirements include greeting customers, defining item variables with prices, calculating total costs, and incorporating organized code with comments. To attain higher grades, students can add features such as small talk, change calculation, and conditional statements.

For an advanced touch, the program extends to inquire about discount cards, offering a 10% discount for students, a 20% discount for senior citizens, or introducing occasional random discounts. This assignment provides a hands-on opportunity for students to apply Python programming skills in a practical and fun context.
