Gpay Group Expense Calculator

This code calculates and displays the total expenses of group members from a Google Pay JSON file. It reads the group expense data, calculates the total expenses for each member across different groups, and prints the results. It's helpful for managing shared expenses in a group.

• Firstly, make sure that you have Python installed on your system. If you don't have Python, you can download it from the official website of Python.
