print with commas: a label and a value on one line

Maya from finance records every catering order in the ledger. She asks for a neater order summary: each line should hold a label and its value, such as "Customer: Mr. Hendra", instead of labels and values on separate lines like Rina's previous program.

Task

The order data is already stored in the variables customer, dish and portions. Show the summary with print calls that hold a label and a variable together, so the output is exactly these 3 lines:
Customer: Mr. Hendra
Dish: Gado-gado
Portions: 4
Use the variables, do not retype their values.

Hint 1
print can take several values at once, separated by commas, for example print("City:", city).
Hint 2
print automatically puts one space between the values. So do not add a space at the end of the label, or you will get two spaces.
Hint 3
The first line becomes print("Customer:", customer). Write the next two lines with the same pattern.

Reveal them one at a time. The last hint nearly gives the answer away.

Give it a try first. The solution unlocks automatically after your first check.

Answer

customer = "Mr. Hendra"
dish = "Gado-gado"
portions = 4

print("Customer:", customer)
print("Dish:", dish)
print("Portions:", portions)

Explanation

print("Customer:", customer) gives print two values: the text "Customer:" and what the variable customer holds. print shows them all on one line, separated by one space. You can pass as many values as you like, and mixing text with numbers is fine too: print("Portions:", portions) prints Portions: 4.
Common mistakes:

Writing print("Customer: ", customer) with a space inside the label. The result is Customer: Mr. Hendra with two spaces, and the output check treats it as different.
Putting the variable name inside the quotes. print("Customer: customer") prints the word customer as it is.
Forgetting the comma. print("Dish:" dish) raises a SyntaxError.

Tip: you can change the space separator with sep. For example print("Gado-gado", 4, sep=" x ") prints Gado-gado x 4.

Python· main.py

customer = "Mr. Hendra"
dish = "Gado-gado"
portions = 4

# Show the label and the variable on one line.
print("Customer:")
