Serendipity Booksellers Software Development Project

Part 1: Program Specifications Serendipity Booksellers is a small bookstore located in a shopping mall. They have a cashier station equipped with a personal computer. The manager wants you to develop a point-of-sale (POS) software package that will make the computer function as a cash register and keep an inventory file. The inventory file will be a database of all the books in the bookstore. In general, the software is to perform the following tasks:

Calculate the total of a sale, including sales tax

When a book is purchased, subtract it from the inventory file

Add, change, delete, and look up books in the inventory file

Display various sales reports '

You will build on the project by implementing newly learned features from each chapter. In the end, you will have designed and written a fully functional software package that incorporates most of the topics covered in the text.

The Modules The program will be organized into the following three modules:

Cashier module

Inventory Database module

Report module

When the program runs, a menu will be displayed on the screen, which allows the user to activate any of the modules. A discussion of each module follows:

The Cashier Module

The Cashier module allows the computer to act as a cash register. The user enters information for the books being purchased and the program calculates the sales tax and the total price. In addition, the books being purchased are automatically subtracted from the Inventory Database.

The Inventory Database Module

The Inventory Database will be a file containing a list of all the books in Serendipitys inventory. The following information for each book will be stored in the file:
