Example Output

### Code Retrieval Results

**Functionality Found:** `calculateTotal`  
**File:** `src/utils/calculate.js`  
**Line Number:** 45  

**Code Snippet:**  
```javascript
function calculateTotal(items) {
    return items.reduce((total, item) => total + item.price, 0);
}
```

### Related Functions:
- `getItemPrice` (src/utils/item.js, Line 30)
- `applyDiscount` (src/utils/discount.js, Line 12)

**Suggestions:**  
- Consider refactoring `calculateTotal` for better performance with large datasets.
- Review `applyDiscount` for integration with `calculateTotal`.
