Suggestions Needed to build a ice cream Ordering system as a part of my assignment

Hello everyone, I’m quite new to python and been trying to learn how to code in python from past few weeks. Coming to the point as a part of my assignment in DATA WRANGLING with PYTHON, my task is to build an ordering system for an ice cream shop. I need information on which part of the python I should focus on so that I can build it. Any help would be highly appreciated, Thanks in advance. I’m attaching a copy of my task below for better understanding.

You’re looking at this the wrong way. There is often no single correct way to write a program, so instead of trying to find things to learn, focus on using what you know already to accomplish the task. Break the problem into smaller problems and solve them in steps.

For the backend I suggest we can just have an input system
A list of options can be given

Your order is added into a dictionary of values from different lists and their prices.

It’s not really as complicated as data wrangling other than an input system.

Does that help? Let me know how I can help

hi this is the code i ended up at. can u help me to reduce the lines of code. (we cant use pandas)
