Amara is writing a program to calculate the total price of four items. Her first attempt at the program is shown below.
p = input("Enter price of item 1: ")
q = input("Enter price of item 2: ")
r = input("Enter price of item 3: ")
s = input("Enter price of item 4: ")
t = p + q + r + s
print("The total is: " + t)
Give two ways that the maintainability of this program could be improved.
