Statement of the Inventory Problem

This assignment will use dynamic data structures, multi-file programs and the use of Unix utilities to control building of programs from multiple files and libraries. It requires you to use ABSTRACT DATA TYPING, and handle binary files. You are to complete the tasks described in the following case study. The case study tests the issues of program design and development. The particular problem that you are to solve, maintaining an inventory, is chosen because its solution demonstrates how a complex problem needs to be solved using principles of top down design and modularity. The solution also requires list processing and file handling. Statement of the Inventory Problem Our task is to write a program that will maintain an inventory for a DVD or videocassette dealer. The inventory consists of a list of movie titles and, the following inventory information associated with each title: 1. **Have count**: number of disks/cassettes currently in stock 2. **Want count**: desired number to be kept in stock (for making decisions about purchase orders) 3. **Wait list**: list of names of people waiting for the title if it is sold out Because the inventory program won't be running at all times, there should be a mechanism for saving the inventory in a file and for restoring the inventory when the program is run again. **Assignment detail is attached. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). 4) Fully documented. [Purpose, Pre and Post + Line by line comments.] 5) Follow instructions 100%. 6) All modules and header files, make file, and the table of contents of your archive file. 7) Structure chart showing the relationships of your independent modules.

The inventory consists of a list of movie titles and, the following inventory information ass ociated with each title: 1. Have count: number of disks/cassettes currently in stock 2. Want count: desired number to be kept in stock (for making decisions about purchase orders) 3. Wait list: list of names of people waiting for the title if it is sold out Because the inventory program won't be running at all times, there should be a mechanism for saving the inventory in a file and for restoring the inventory when the program is run again. Please send to me if intrested, and I will send the specification. Thanks, ## Platform Must be tested and run under cygwin.
