Example: Dynamic Item Bill in C

    float subtotal = 0.0;
    char addMore = 'y'; // Control variable for loop

    // Step 2: Get customer name
    printf("Enter Customer Name: ");
    fgets(customerName, sizeof(customerName), stdin);

    // Step 3: Print bill header

    printf("%-15s %-5s %-10s %-10s\n", "Item", "Qty", "Price", "Total");

    while (addMore == 'y' || addMore == 'Y') {

        itemTotal = qty * price;
        subtotal += itemTotal; // Add to running subtotal

        // Print item details in the bill
        printf("%-15s %-5d %-10.2f %-10.2f\n", itemName, qty, price, itemTotal);

        printf("Add another item? (y/n): ");
        scanf(" %c", &addMore); // Space before %c to consume any leftover newline
        while (getchar() != '\n'); // Clear input buffer
    }

    // Step 5: Print subtotal and footer
    printf("----------------------------------------\n");
    printf("%-32s %-10.2f\n", "Subtotal:", subtotal);
    printf("----------------------------------------\n");
