      function calculateTotalPrice(items) {
        let total = 0;
        for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
          total += items[i].price;
        }
        return total + (total * 0.2); // add 20% tax
      }

      function calculateDiscountedPrice(items, discount) {
        let total = 0;
        for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
          total += items[i].price;
        }
        let discounted = total - discount;
        return discounted + (discounted * 0.2); // add 20% tax
      }
  expected: Identifies duplicated logic for calculating total base price and applying tax, suggesting extraction into shared helper functions.
