   Introduction

   Welcome to the lab. You are working on a small Python command-line application for a print shop that needs to make simple business decisions and present them clearly. info> This lab experience was developed by the Pluralsight team using an internally developed AI tool. All sections were verified by human experts for accuracy prior to publications. However, content may still contain errors or inaccuracies, and we recommend independent verification.

2. Challenge

   Apply OR Logic to Review Orders

   This step introduces the first layer of the application: decision helpers and their initial user-facing output. You will start with review rules, then connect those rules to a report line, and finally print a compact overview from the CLI entry point.

3. Challenge

   Combine Conditions with AND

   This step expands the application from a single review decision into a richer production workflow. You will implement rules that require multiple conditions to be true, then format those decisions into a combined production line.

4. Challenge

   Use NOT and Boolean Flags for Pickup Rules

   This step finishes the business-rule layer by handling post-production decisions. You will determine when an order is ready for pickup, when the customer should be notified, and how to present that information as another report line.

5. Challenge

   Assemble and Run the Complete CLI Report

   This final step turns several small helpers into a complete, working CLI experience. You will first compose the three report lines into a multi-line order summary, then run the full demo workflow over the provided sample data. Now it's time to see your reporting workflow in action!

   1. In the Terminal tab, run the application:

      python3 main.py
      

   2. Review the output and confirm that:

      • A review overview is displayed for each sample order
      • Each order summary includes the Review, Production, and Pickup status lines
      • Multiple order summaries are printed using the provided sample data

   Congratulations on completing this lab!
