You are asked to write an app to maintain a list of activities that the user likes to participate in. The app should load all activity information from a data file (activities.txt) once the app is started. It allows the user to view, add, remove, and search for activities. The app should save the data back to the same data file when the program exits. Please see Sample Run under Criteria for Success.

What Your Program Should Do

Write an interactive text based menu interface (using a loop) that will allow the user to

Enter information for a new activity.

Display information for all the activities in the database sorted by activity name with index number for each activity.

Display information for all the activities in the database with the same Type.

Remove an activity by index.

Noted:

Use a struct named Activity to model each activity. For the string attributes, such as activity name, activity location, and activity level, you are required to use C-string, a character array terminated by \0. You should use the library instead of the String class. You can have a maximum of 51 characters for each C-string (50 + 1 for the null character).

For the Type attribute, you can use enum or named integer constants.

For the Rating attribute, you can use integer.

You may not use any while(true) loops or any break statements inside of while loops.

No global variables.

You must do data validation for any required responses and numbers - for example if you have a set of choices for the Type, then you must validate that the user enters a Type within the choice list. You must validate that the rating is between 1 and 10.

Must follow the C++ Style guidelines just like your other assignments.

Use an array of structs to model the collection of activities. You can have a maximum of 30 activities in your list.

Use strstr to do partial comparison to list activities by a location.

See the Inventory example in zyBooks. 15: CS161B: Section 15.2 (strstr and strcmp examples), the video store example in 15: CS161B: Section 15.6 (enums and multiple files and looping menu), and 15:CS161B: Section 15.7, Example to insert sorted into an array. You can find links to these under Criteria for Success.

For submission, your data file should contain at least 10 lines of test data. It should have test cases for different activity names, activity locations and the same location with different activity names.

You must have multiple files for this assignment. activity.h for the struct and the function prototypes, activity.cpp for the function implementations, and main.h and main.cpp for other functions and implementations, and the main() function.

Search for activities by a certain activity name.

Quit

For each activity, you need to keep track of:

Activity name (e.g., Skiing)

Activity location (e.g., Mt Hood Meadows)

Activity Level (e.g., Easy, Difficult, Not for the faint of heart etc.)

Rating (e.g., 1-10 about how fun the experience is)

Type: athletic, food, arts, games, or others - have about 5 different Types of activities for the user to choose from.

Allow the program to keep looping until the user wants to quit. When the program starts, it should load the tasks from an external file (activities.txt) into memory.

When it loads the data into the array, it should insert them sorted alphabetically by activity name. Do not use a sorting algorithm - as you insert the activity into the array, make sure they are inserted in the right position.

When a user enters information about the new activity, the program needs to read them in, and insert them in the correct position.

When the user quits the program, save them in memory and eventually write them to the external data file (activities.txt). The file format could look like: (you can use enum or named constants for Type)

Skiing;Mt Hood Meadows;Difficult;6;0

Wine Making;Umpqua Valley;Complicated;9;1

Catan;Epic Gaming;Easy;4;3

Oil Painting;Fun Studios;Tricky;6;2

Pottery;Fun Studios;Easy;7;2

Snowboarding;Mt Hood Meadows;Not for Faint of heart;8;0

The ';' is used as a delimiter or field separator. Each record ends with a new line character.

The numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 identify the Type that the activity belongs to. For example, 0 could be Athletics, 1 could be Food, 2 could be Arts, 3 could be Games, and 4 could be Others.
