Introduction
This project is based on the idea of an offline store management application which will handle shopping items in terms of categories. Our project has two main modules (i.e. Retailer & Customer), in which we have provided unique functionalities. We’ve also prioritized the application in terms of a GUI environment (by providing 2 diff. menu outlooks) so that it ensures a good interaction between the retailer/customer and the application with complete checkout process.
Hence, catering all the requirements of both Retailer & customer with an ensured smooth experience.
Salient Features
- We have provided maximum abstraction so that the customer's data cannot be stolen/updated from app nor from its Files.
- We also ensured that all sensitive data is encrypted so that no info could be stole from files.
- The Code is in generalized format utilizing all C++ templates techniques, & variadic template function & Parameter pack (i.e. C++11 features).
- Our Project is capable of generating new Categories (i.e. Classes) At run-time, with up to 30 attributes.
- Our Application is portable, as it doesn’t require manual recompilation for generating new classes.
- All Input data errors are validated using the generic function & its overloaded versions.
- Our application is also memory efficient (i.e. vector class approach used for Items Pointer Array).
Learned/Covered Topics
- Filing (i.e. read/write abstract class objects)
- Inheritance (i.e. multi-level)
- Friend Classes
- Abstraction (i.e. all data is in private & protected mode)
- Polymorphism (func. overloading , func. Overriding, operator overloading)
- Encapsulation (i.e. all data is private/protected)
- Templates/ Variadic Templates (i.e. for generic funcs.)
- Pointer Arrays (i.e. 2D dynamic object pointer array)
