Alice has hired you to improve some code used at the restaurant. The code we’ll be improving on is shown below.

Read through the code line-by-line with your partner before writing down your observations in the tables below.

cost :: String -> Number
# given an item, produce the cost of that item
fun​ cost(item):
  ask:
    | string-equal(item, "hamburger") then:​ 6.00
    | string-equal(item, "onion rings") then:​ 3.50
    | string-equal(item, "fried tofu") then:​ 5.25
    | string-equal(item, "pie") then: 2.25
    | otherwise: "Sorry, that’s not on the menu!"
  end
end
