Question

Write a C program that takes inventory data from a file and loads a structure of up to 100 items

defined as:

struct item

{

int item_number;

char item_name[20];

char item_desc[30];

float item_price;

}

I called mine: struct item inventory[100]; (you may use any name you wish)

I will let you decide the appropriate prompts and edit messages. You will read the data

from the data file and store the info in an array. Assume no more than 100 records will

be in the data file. You may use the data below for testing purposes with the attached

file.

Once the program opens the file, and reads the data into the array, the program should

then give the user the option to SORT THE DATA IN ASCENDING ORDER BY ITEM

NUMBER, OR ITEM NAME OR ITEM DESC, OR ITEM PRICE, and output the

inventory data in report form of your design with alignment, or exactly as follows below.

The report will also be directed to an output text file (named report7.txt) with the same

output as printed to the screen.

Hints/requirements:

• Program without sort options is a 10 point deduction.

• Program with no output to invreport.txt is a 10 point deduction

• Without current date and time stamp is a 5 point deduction

• No data validation is required (assume it was validated before writing to the file)

• To Simplify your work I did not use any ‘white-space’ in the descriptions

• You must open the file in r mode such as: in_file_ptr = fopen(file_name, "r")

• I read the file: fscanf(in_file_ptr, "%i", &inventory[x].item_number); /* etc. */

The sample data file contains data similar to the following (in a text file)

Welcome to Inventory Center Enter File Name: n5.txt There are 5 items in inventory. Sort by: Item Number (1), Item Name (N), Item Desc (D), or Item Price (P): i Inventory Report Wed Mar 20 09:47:57 2019 No.Name Description Price 3"-width 3/8"-adjustable 5"-width 21b.bal1-peen multi-bit 51.00 12.50 121 clamp 123 wrench 163 clamp 1212 hammer 223.8 12.00 10.00 1277 screwdriver (Report has been sent to invreport.txt)
