Project 2 | CISP 400 Evrist

§1 Project 2 #

The new bookstore inventory software has proven to be significantly more efficient than the old pencil-and-ledger method the owner relied on before. Now, you’ve been tasked with developing version 2 of the software to add additional functionality.

§2 Info #

For this project, you will continue working with the code you wrote for project 1. You are free to refactor any part of your code, including restarting from scratch if you prefer. You have the flexibility to implement this project in any way that meets the rubric requirements. Like the previous project, your grade will be based solely on your ability to fulfill the requirements.

The new Magazine data described below must be stored within a class, with a minimum of 2 member functions included as part of the class. You may refactor the rest of your program in any way you see fit.

You are not limited in what C++ features you can use for your implementation, you may use classes, member functions, and any other C++ features for this project. However, you may not import any external libraries that are not already included in the standard library (this means no libraries downloaded from the internet such as boost or sqlite).

Be aware that your source code will be shown to the rest of the class, as we will perform a “code review” of your project implementation.

This project will be accompanied by a short write up, you will be asked to write briefly about what you changed between project 1 and project 2, what problems you encountered, and why you choose the approach you implemented.

You will not have an opportunity to resubmit your project once graded, However you can ask questions or share code with me before submission. Please reach out if you have any questions.

§3 Guidelines #

You may use a single file or multiple files for your source code.

You may utilize any combination of containers to represent the data in your program, this could include classes, arrays, vectors, lists, etc.

magazine entries must be implemented as part of a class, where each magazine is represented by a single object. You must also utilize encapsulation (private data members) and implement at least 2 member functions as part of the magazine class. Any other details about the implementation and how it is stored is up to you.

§4 New Features #

Here is list of new features that you will need to implement, in addition to several existing features:

The bookstore also sells magazines, magazines are loaded from a separate magazines.csv file. the magazine data MUST be implemented as part a class with private data members. The magazine file is in a similar format to the books.csv file, but with slightly different attributes:
- ID, title, edition, issue, year published, month published, price, pagecount, genre, summary
- The ID of the magazines should be any unique integer greater than existing Book ID’s, all Magazine and Book ID’s must be distinct. Your approach must work when loading a larger dataset such as from books-alt.csv.
- Magazines must be able to be sold by ID like books, and must also show up in any queries alongside books, such as filtering by price or searching by title.
- Magazines with the same title may come in many different issues/editions, each magazine variant will have a unique ID.
Books now support an additional attribute: edition, Books may come in two editions: hardcover and paperback
- This attribute is added as a new column on the books.csv file, you will need to adjust your csv-reader code to load this new metadata.

To accommodate the new metadata, the output format when printing book/magazine information has been updated:

The new long-form output format is: ID | Type (Book or Magazine) | Title | remaining metadata... | Copies

Books:

ID: 10 | Type: Book | Title: War and Peace | Author: J.R.R. Tolkien | Price: $20.67 | Year Published: 1954 | Page Count: 111 | Genre: Science Fiction | Summary: A thriller about a quest for hidden secrets and historical mysteries. | Edition: paperback | Copies: 3

Magazines:

ID: 31 | Type: Magazine | Title: Culinary Trends | Edition: 12 | Issue: 78 | Year Published: 2023 | Month Published: October | Price: $5.49 | Page Count: 96 | Genre: Cooking | Summary: Exploring innovative recipes and the future of plant-based cuisine around the world. | Copies: 4

The new short-form output is: ID; Type; Title; Author(If book); Edition(If magazine); Issue(If magazine); Year Published; Copies
Books: ID; Type; Title; Author; Year Published; Copies
```
9; Book; War and Peace; Leo Tolstoy; 1869; 2
```
Magazines: ID; Type; Title; Edition; Issue; Year Published; Copies
```
17; Magazine; Culinary Trends; 12th; 78; 2023; 5
```

New filtering criteria:
- Able to filter only magazines or books
- Able to filter books by specific edition (paperback or hardcover)
- Able to display only the newest issue of a given magazine
New filtering combos:
- Able to find all magazines of a specific edition and name, such as “Culinary Trends,11th edition”
- Able return all books published between two dates
- Able to filter all books by a specific author in a specific edition, such as paperback books by Suzanne Collins
Perform a sale of groups of items by criteria/filter:
- Able to sell all magazines of a specific title and edition, such as all versions of “Culinary Trends,11th edition”
- Able to sell a copy of all books published between two dates
- Selling books or magazines involves the following:
  - Checks that at least one copy of the item is in the inventory.
    - Print an error message such as: “ERROR: 0 copies of <ITEM SHORT FORM INFO> available” when there are no copies of the item in the inventory, stop the function at this point.
  - Updates the inventory to remove a copy from the number of available items.
  - Log purchases to a file: save the short-form output for the item,with the price at time of sale at the end of the line, to a file called sales.txt.
    - use the short-form format with the price appended: Type; Title; Author(If book); Edition(If magazine); Issue(If magazine); Year Published; Copies; $PRICE (dont forget the currency sign)
  - Print confirmation text to the console that the sale succeeded: SOLD: <ITEM SHORT FORM INFO>
Limitations:
- You MUST define a class and store magazines as individual objects, using private data members and implementing at least 2 member functions, you may continue to use a struct to store books, or you may refactor the Book struct to be part of any class.

I encourage you to use class member functions along with external member functions where you feel it is appropriate.
There are a lot of requirements to fulfill here, Think about how you can reuse logic across different parts of your program so that you can do more work with less code.

§5 Test Case #

§10 Help #

I want you to do well, please message me on canvas, email, or join office hours if you feel lost or have any questions about the assignment or your implementation.

I am happy to answer questions or provide guidance to help you succeed.

§11 Extra Credit #

You can earn an additional 15% extra credit by solving this additional challenge: Implement a “fuzzy search” function.

A user may want to query for a title by name without typing the exact string, for example: Lord of rings tower would plausibly return The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Your task is to implement a fuzzy_search(string input) function that takes a string, and returns the 5 most similar results.

You may use any algorithm to accomplish this, an obvious standout would be Levenshtein Distance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance

The problem with a naive implementation of this is that a query like Lord of rings tower would rank Crime and Punishment as closer than The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, this can be addressed in several different ways, I leave that up to you.

Extra Credit Requirements:

Implement function named fuzzy_search()
Returns 5 short-form items as “results”
Fuzzy search should return 5 results in order of relevancy (most relevant at the top).
- Example matches that should appear within your returned results:
  - Lord of rings tower -> The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
  - crime punishment -> Crime and Punishment
  - 1989 -> 1984
  - fellows of the ring -> The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
  - mocking -> To Kill a Mockingbird & Mockingjay (Either order)
Add a section to your write up:
- Note that you completed extra credit work
- Write what algorithm you used, why, and what (if any) modifications you made for this use case.
- Tell me about your experience with this challenge and what resources you used, did you learn anything interesting implementing this?

§12 Submission #

Commit and sync your code just like any other assignment in this class.

Also submit a short write-up on Canvas, details are in the next section.

Be aware that your source code will be shown to the rest of the class, as we will perform a “code review” of your project implementation.

The Due Date and the Close Date for the project are strict, this project has more time than other assignments to complete, but is also expected to take more time than other assignments.
Late work will not be accepted. Due to how long projects take to grade, I cannot accept resubmissions out of a sake of fairness for all students.

Submit early to avoid the risk of receiving a low grade due to mistakes like missing code or write up.

§13 Deliverables #

Your source code via github
A Canvas-submitted write-up that contains the following:
- Explain at a high level how you structured your program, such as how you store the list(s) of items, and how you approach filtering the data.
- What major changes did you make to your code between project 1 and project 2?
- Did you choose to refactor your Book structure into a class or leave it as a struct? why?
- Do you prefer working with class’ or a structs? Why?
- Provide a list of any extra sources you used to help you write your program (Using LLM’s is fine; tell me about that here).
- What parts of this project were notable to you?
