Description
Suppose you run a shoe shop and you want to write a stock tracking program for the shoes in the
shop. Design and implement a stock tracking program based on a linked list structure to keep
your stock information.
Workflow:
1. You will read the input.txt. The positive numbers are the sizes of pair of shoes you are
getting into your stock this morning. First, you will add them to your stock following the
rules:
a. Your stock will be a linked list in a struct form, containing 2 parameters (shoe size
and quantity).
b. The linked list will be in increasing order with respect to shoe size.
c. If the pair of shoe you are adding is not in the list, you will create a node in a
proper space and set the quantity of this pair of shoe as 1.
d. If the pair of shoe you are adding is in the list, you will increment it’s quantity by
1.
2. The negative numbers are the customers wanting a shoe in specified size. You will sell
those shoes following the rules:
a. If there are more than 1 pair of shoes of that size, you will decrease the quantity
of that size of pair of shoe by 1.
b. If there is only 1 pair of shoe of that size, you will delete the node of that pair of
shoe from the linked list.
c. If there is no pair of shoe of that size, the program will print out the message
“NO_STOCK”
3. Zero (0) is the command for the printing the stock info. You will print out the remaining
stock following the format: “
36:2
38:1
40:3
41:1
4. At the end, you need to delete all of the nodes of your list to free up the space.
Example:
Input file “input.txt”
36 41 45 38 35 37 45 42 40 36
-35 -40 -36 -35 -38
0
-35 -41
0
Output
NO_STOCK
36:1
37:1
41:1
42:1
45:2
NO_STOCK
36:1
37:1
42:1
45:2
Implementation:
Implement the following methods with appropriate arguments and return types for your
structure:
a. create(): Creates the stock list.
b. add_stock(): Adds a pair of shoe to the stock list. (workflow 1)
c. sell(): Sells a pair of shoe. (workflow 2)
d. current_stock(): Prints the current stock list. (workflow 3)
e. clear(): Deletes all of the nodes of the list. (workflow 4)
Structure:
struct node{
int size;
int quant;
node *next;
};
struct stock{
node *head;
void create();
void add_stock(int);
void sell(int);
void current_stock();
void clear();
};
Submission
1. Make sure you write your name and number in all of the files of your project, in the
following format:
/* @Author
Student Name:
Student ID:
Date:
2. Use comments wherever necessary in your code to explain what you did.
3. You don’t have to use a structure exactly the same as the given one. The given structure
is for helping you to imagine how it would be.
4. You are not allowed to include any STL container.
5. Your program should compile and run on Linux environment using g++ (version 4.8.5 or
later). You can test your program on ITU’s Linux Server using SSH protocol.
6. To compile the code, you can use the following command:
g++ main.cpp –o main
And you can execute your program by using the following command:
./main input.txt
7. After you make sure that everything is compiled smoothly, archive all files into a zip file.
Submit this file through www.ninova.itu.edu.tr. Ninova enables you to change your
submission before the submission deadline.
Do not miss submission deadline. Do not leave your submission until the last minute. The
submission system tends to become less responsive due to high network traffic.
