Building an Inventory Management System in C – Version 4.0

#algorithms #coding #programming #softwaredevelopment

During my studies in Systems Analysis and Development (ADS), I developed an Inventory Management System using the C programming language.

The main goal of this project was to practice programming logic, data structures, functions, pointers, and file handling while building a functional application.

🚀 Project Overview

The system provides an interactive menu that allows users to manage products and control inventory information.

Main Features

Register new products.
List registered products.
Search for products by code.
Update product information.
Delete products.
Check inventory levels.
Calculate total inventory value.
Identify products with the highest and lowest inventory value.
Sort products by code.
Save and load data using TXT files.

🛠️ Technologies Used

C Programming Language
GCC Compiler
Visual Studio Code
Git and GitHub

🧠 Programming Concepts

Throughout the development process, I applied several programming concepts:

Structures ("struct")
Arrays of structures
Functions and modular programming
Pointers
Conditional statements and loops
Input validation
File handling using "FILE"
Data persistence with "fopen()", "fprintf()", "fscanf()", and "fclose()"
Bubble Sort algorithm

📂 Data Persistence

One important feature is the ability to save product information in a TXT file.

This allows the system to preserve registered products even after the application is closed.

🎯 What I Learned

This project helped me improve my understanding of the C language and develop a better perspective on how programming concepts work together in a practical application.

It also reinforced the importance of code organization, validation, problem-solving, and continuous learning.
