This project involves creating a simple console-based library system. The system allows an admin to manage books and users, enabling operations such as adding books, searching for books, borrowing, and returning books.
-
Adding a Book:
- Each book has an ID, name, and quantity.
- Example:
101, CppHowToProgram, 7(7 copies of the book with ID 101).
-
Searching for a Book:
- Search by book name prefix.
- Example:
- Query:
Cpp⇒ Results:CppHowToProgram, CppForDummies, CppForAdvancedLevels - Query:
Java⇒ Results: None (if no books with "Java" in the name).
- Query:
-
Listing Books:
- List all books, sortable by either ID or name.
- Example:
- By Name:
ArabicLiterature, Math1, Math2 - By ID:
Math2 (1011), Math1 (1111), ArabicLiterature (5041)
- By Name:
-
Listing Users Who Borrowed a Book:
- Input: Book Name
- Output: List of user names who borrowed the book.
- Example: For book
Math1, output could beMostafa, John, Mark, Ali.
-
Adding a User:
- Each user has an ID and name.
- Optionally, additional info like email and address can be added.
-
Borrowing a Book:
- Admin enters user name and book name.
- If the book's quantity is > 0, mark the book as borrowed by the user and decrease the quantity by 1.
- If no copies are available, notify the admin.
-
Returning a Book:
- Mark the book as returned by the user and increase the quantity by 1.
-
Additional User Operations:
- List system users, sortable by name or ID.
- List borrowed books of a specific user.
- Menu:
- Display all possible choices to the admin.
- Admin selects a choice, performs the operation, and returns to the main menu.
- C++ compiler
- Basic knowledge of C++ programming
- Inspired by classic library systems.
