Cs 144 Programming Problem 4 Amazon Books Design and implement a C++ program to buy books on Amazon. The program should be menu based with the following options: 1. Enter Customer name 2. Add a book to a customer’s shopping cart 3. Display the Customer’s shopping cart 4. Search 5. List all books 6. Checkout Requirements: This problem is an extension of the Programming Project 3. You are to reuse the Book class you developed for that assignment. You will create a new Shopping program that contains the main, or modify your main program from Programming Project 3. You should read all the Books into an array which will serve as our “inventory” list when the program starts. You can then manipulate the books that are stored in the list. Search should allow the user it input a keyword such as a name, title, or format. The program should display all books from the list that contain that keyword. List all books should print the entire list, in a manner similar to what you did in Programming Project 3. You are to develop a new Customer class following the UML below. That class should contain the customer’s name (and mailing address if you so desire), an array to hold the list of books in the shopping cart, and a count of the number of books items in the shopping cart. This Customer class should have functions to: · enter the customer’s name from the keyboard · add a book to the shopping cart list of books, and · display the list of books in the shopping cart with a total price. Each of these is discussed further below. You’ll use a Customer class object in your main program in support of the first three menu items. Entering a Customer’s name is fairly trivial. Your Customer class function should just display a prompt and read a string value from the user. Adding a book to the student’s list requires two functions, one top-level function and one Customer class member function. The member function should simply copy its book argument into the next available spot in the shopping cart and update the count. The top-level function should ask the user to enter the title, find the book in “inventory” list and call the Customer member function to add this book to her/his shopping cart. Displaying the shopping cart should print the customer’s name, all their books and the total price in a neatly written report. Step 1—Setting up your Main program Create a main Shopping program that will allow the customer to buy books on Amazon. The program should allow the user to select from the menu listed above. We will use a list of books as our “inventory”. The program should read the information from data file (Books.txt) for each book and place it into the list of books in the main before displaying the menu. After each user selection, the program should complete the task, then display the menu again. Step 2—Working with the book list Menu items 4 and 5 should be able to be completed at this point since they simply display the entire list of books or search the list for what the user enters. Make sure you use functions to complete each task separately and call the functions in the logic for the menu selection. Menu item 6 can be started by exiting the program for now. Step 3—Getting the customer able to create an account Customer -name:String -shoppingCart:Book [ ] -numItemsOrdered:int -total( ):double +Customer( ) +~Customer( ) +enterName( ):void +display( ):void +addToShoppingCart(item:Book):void Write the Customer class from the UML as shown. You may add additional shipping information if you so desire. You may add get and set functions as needed. Modify the Shopping program so that the user can create a customer account. Modify menu item 6 so that checkout can now display a receipt with just the customer’s name (since the cart is empty) to test out the Customer class. You should pause the program after you display the receipt before you exit the program. Step 4—Filling up your shopping Cart Write the functions to add to the cart in both the Customer class and the Shopping program (see above descriptions). A user will enter the title of the book exactly as it is displayed to select the correct item to add to the cart. Edit the Customer class display method so that it displays the contents of the shopping cart after the customer’s name. The total member function is a private function, called by the display function, which returns the total price of the books in the shopping cart. Thoroughly test your program by searching for and adding multiple books to your cart and checking out. The final displayed receipt should list the customer’s name, the list of items purchased, and the total. Extras for Experts: Add a menu item to remove a book from a shopping cart. Submission Guidelines: All source code must include comments, be properly indented and use descriptive variable names where appropriate. Submit a zipped file of the project folder to the Programming Project 4 drop box in D2L. It should include Book.h, Book.cpp, Customer.h, Customer.cpp, and Shopping.cpp files. I will be looking at the code and running the program. Your grade will depend on how it compiles and runs, if the desired output is produced, comments, and programming style. Ethical Programming Guidelines · This is an individual assignment; the work you turn in must be yours and yours alone. · You are free to share conceptual ideas (BUT NOT CODE) with fellow students without any computing device present. · You are free to use any example code provided by the instructor. · You can consult SIs and the instructor for assistance with your code, but you must have your algorithm written before you will get help. · You may NOT share code with another student. · You may NOT “team” code. · You may NOT coach code another student. · You may NOT solicit help from the Internet (forums, crowd-source your project).

Paper For Above instruction

Introduction

The goal of this project is to develop a menu-driven C++ application that simulates an online bookstore similar to Amazon. Building upon a previous coursework (Programming Project 3), this assignment involves creating a comprehensive shopping system that allows users to browse books, add books to a shopping cart, manage customer details, and process checkouts. The system emphasizes object-oriented programming principles, including the design and utilization of classes such as Book and Customer. This program not only provides practical programming experience but also deepens understanding of data management, file processing, and interface design in C++.

System Design and Classes

Book Class

The Book class forms the core of the inventory management, storing details such as title, author, format, price, and possibly other attributes. It is designed to support multiple functionalities including displaying book details and searching by keywords. The class is initially developed in an earlier project and is reused here, ensuring consistency and efficiency.

Customer Class

The Customer class is a pivotal component, encapsulating customer details—name, mailing address (optionally), a shopping cart (array of Book objects), and the number of items in the cart. It provides methods to input customer information, add books to the cart, and display the cart contents along with the total price. The class interface, following UML specifications, includes constructors, destructors, accessor, and mutator methods, promoting encapsulation and ease of maintenance.

Operational Workflow

Initial Setup

The program begins by reading book data from a file (Books.txt) into an array, initializing the inventory. This setup allows users to browse entire catalogs, search by keywords, and manage their shopping selections interactively through a menu.

Menu Navigation

The menu presents options for entering customer information, adding books to the shopping cart, displaying the cart, searching for books, listing all books, and checkout. Each choice triggers corresponding functions modularly coded for clarity and reuse. With each operation, the menu reappears, providing a seamless user experience.

Customer Management

Implementing customer account creation, the system prompts for the customer's name, which is stored within a Customer object. The customer can then search for books by title, add selected books to the cart, view cart contents, and finally proceed to checkout, where a receipt summarizes the purchase.

Functional Details

Adding Books to Cart

When a user inputs a book title to add, the program searches the inventory list for an exact match. If found, it invokes the Customer class method to add the book to the shopping cart, updating item counts accordingly. The display method offers a formatted report of the cart's contents and total price.

Listing and Searching Books

Listing all books involves printing each book's details systematically, akin to the format used in earlier assignments. Searching scans through the inventory, matching keywords within titles, authors, or formats, then displaying all relevant books.

Checkout Process

Checkout displays the customer's name, lists all books in the cart, and computes the total cost. It validates empty carts, provides a clear summary, and pauses before program termination to allow review.

Development and Testing

The implementation involves designing header and source files for Book and Customer classes, writing functions for menu operations, and integrating file input/output. Emphasis is placed on code comments, proper formatting, and clear logic. Extensive testing ensures that books are correctly added, searched, displayed, and that checkout functions as intended.

Additional Features and Considerations

Advanced functionalities may include removing books from the cart, editing customer information, and enhancing the user interface. Maintaining code readability and adhering to ethical programming practices are emphasized throughout development.

Conclusion

This project combines object-oriented programming with practical application, providing a simulated environment for online book purchasing. It offers valuable experience in class design, file handling, menu-driven interfaces, and software testing. The resulting program exemplifies how modular design and careful implementation can produce a functional and user-friendly shopping system in C++.
