Extend with GitHub Copilot

After completing the exercise, try extending it with GitHub Copilot:

  • Ask Copilot to group duplicate items on the receipt so each menu item appears once with a quantity.
  • Ask Copilot to calculate a 10% tax and add a tax line to the receipt above the total.
  • Ask Copilot to add an "undo" option that removes the customer's most recently added item.

Review each suggestion carefully before accepting it—make sure you understand what the code does and that it behaves the way you expect.
