latro is on a distinguished road

a pc building program in C


When somebody wants to buy a computer, the budget is very often the limiting factor. The client
will ask you to build a great computer,
In this project, you are required to write a program that
? manages information about different components (such as motherboard, CPU, etc.),
? is able to present the best possible computer for a particular use (office use / gaming), when
ignoring all budget constraints, and
? can specify a computer within budget constraints, if possible with the available components.
You must use a number of different functions in your program, and at least one should implement
pointer notation. For this project, you will require some knowledge of structs, pointers, functions,
arrays and file accessing.
The program should be user friendly, with an easy to use screen layout.
Data Storage
? The component information should be read from a file. You may choose whether to use a
sequential or a random access file.
? The data read from the file should be stored in structs in the memory while the program runs.
? Bonus marks will be awarded if the structs are stored in a linked list rather than an array.
? The user should be able to add, edit or delete components, and this should be saved to the file
when the user quits the program.

Hello latro and welcome to GIDForums™.

This sounds suspiciously like a homework assignment, but I am certain that you would not post your homework on here expecting someone else to do it. After all, you get the grade not the people on this board, right?

Seriously, if you want help from this board, esp. with homework, ask specific questions, post some code, ask for ideas about your algorithms. The way you have posted is the absolute worst way to try to get some help.

This is a great place to come for help with coding if you are serious about receiving help and not just people to do your homework.

Good Luck!

Perhaps this is a challenge to see if we can finish it faster and better than he can :-P I'll build it when I stop having to work on my project management project and my data structures course stops giving me assignments... that'll be in the next week or so :-P
