📊 The system should keep track of stock codes, stock prices, and stock count in three separate lists. The stock codes should be string-based 📝, the prices floating-point 💰, and the count as integer 🔢. To keep them competitive, their financial planner has advised them never to carry more than 50 types of stock (according to stock code) at a time 🚫📦.
➕ The system needs to have a function called AddStockCode() 🏷️.
This function needs to prompt the user for a stock code and price and then add these values to the others already stored in the system 🗃️.
Their advisor has also requested that no item may be priced higher than R 1000.00
🔍 To find a specific stock code, a search function is required. Create a function called SearchCode 🧭 to fulfill this function. The function should receive a single string-based parameter, representing the stock code to search for 🔡. The function must not do any unnecessary searching 🚀. As soon as the search value is found, the search process should halt 🛑. Upon a successful search, the function must return the index in the stock code list where the value was found 🧮. If the value was not found, display a relevant message to the command-line and return a suitable value ❌.
📥 Once the stock codes and prices have been added, it will be necessary to add stock to the system.
Create a function called AddStockItem 🧾 which will prompt the user for a stock code and the
number of items to add ➕📦.
This function should make a call to the SearchCode function to find the relevant stock item 🔁.
To ensure that stock doesn’t get old in the shop 🕰️, their financial planner has advised them that they should never have more than 100 items of any stock type (according to stock count) in the shop at a time
📋 From time to time, it will be necessary to check the stock list. Create a function called DisplayStockList 🖥️ which will display every stock code, with its associated price, number of items in stock, and total stock value for each item 💹. The list should also display the total value of all stock in the system 💼. The list should be displayed with a header in a format similar to the following:
Stock code, In stock, Price,Stock value AAA, 10,50,500 BBB,5,20.00,100 Total,,600
To control the system, Micro Circuits wish to make use of a CLI-based menu with the following options:
- Add Stock Code
- Add Stock Item
- Display Stock List
- Exit
The menu should display continuously until the user decides to exit the program, i.e. after selecting options 1 to 3 and completing the activity the menu should always be re-displayed. The program should only exit when option 4 is selected.
