This software is designed to help manage inventory and sales in a bookstore. Below is a guide to understanding and using the system effectively.
The Book Store Management System includes classes for managing different types of items in the inventory:
- Book: Represents a book with attributes like name, author, genre, release date, due date, and quantity in stock.
- Movie: Represents a movie with attributes like name, director, genre, release date, duration, due date, and quantity in stock.
- Music: Represents an album with attributes like name, artist, genre, release date, due date, and quantity in stock.
- Game: Represents a video game with attributes like name, publisher, genre, release date, due date, and quantity in stock.
These classes inherit from a base class called GeneralInfo, which contains common attributes shared among all items.
The system offers the following features:
- Add Items: Add new books, movies, music albums, and video games to the inventory.
