Description

For this assignment, you will create a car database for a dealership. You will have a struct that will hold

each cars information. The struct will be

struct automobile

{

string make ;

string model ;

unsigned int year ;

string color ;

usigned int msrp

};

Implementation details

In your program, you will have an array of type automobile that contains the cars in the dealership. The

array size will be 20 where you will use a named constant instead of a literal. This seems like very few cars

for a dealership, just assume that this is a dealership in Tokyo. The steps that you will perform will be

1. Read in the list of cars into the automobile array from a file, each line will contain one car entry, every

line will contain the make, model, year, color, and msrp in that order separated by a space and each

line will be terminated by an end of line character (you will use a command line argument to get the

file name and you will use a filestream to read through the file, the input file as well as some of the

source code can be find on the website)

2. Prompt the user to enter and attribute or q, then read in the input

(a) If the user entered an invalid attribute, output the error and ignore any other input on the line

(use cin.ignore(100, ) to ignore any input) and the repeat step 2

(b) If the user entered q, terminate the program

3. If the user entered a valid attribute (user entered Make, Model, Year, or Color), then read in

the search item and output all the cars that match the search item

4. If user entered list then read the next item on the line

(a) If the user entered Low, then output all the cars in sorted order according to their msrp from

high to low

1

(b) If the user entered High, then output all the cars in sorted order according to their msrp from

low to high

(c) If the user didnt enter Low or High then dont do anything and go back to step 2

5. Go back to step 2

Note: the user can enter an input using upper or lower case letters, make sure your program

can handle that
