🧾 Mystery Receipt Generator

Overview

This Java program that generates Mystery receipt based on user input and randomly generated values.
It will then compare the user's budget to the subtotal of the items on the receipt and inform the user of whether their transaction was successful or not.

Each time the program runs, the receipt is slightly different.

How it works

The program takes input for the user's:

  • name
  • budget
  • A discount code.

A receipt is then generated containing:

  • The name of the store
  • A receipt code
  • 3 item prices
  • Subtotal
  • Price adjustments containing any price modifiers, such as tax and discount if applicable
  • The final total

Sample Input & Output

Name: Jayden
Budget: 200.00
Discount: employee

Jayden's Emporium
ID Code: 191591
Receipt Code: JAY-191591
Item 1: $72.65
Item 2: $103.84
Item 3: $121.23
Subtotal: $297.72

Final Total: $220.92
