Records | Ioane Omerod | Professional Portfolio

The final project for my ICS 211 class simulates a record database that can be changed based on user input. The database is a linked list of record structures. A user can add, delete and print information about the records. A user can add a new record by giving the person’s name, address and account number. A user can also delete a record from the database using the record’s account number. A user can look up a name and any name in the database that matches the name given by the user will be printed. A user can print a record using the record’s account number and print all records in the database. A user can also reverse the order of the database and print out the changed database. When a user exits the program, the database is saved so any changes made to the database can be reloaded the next time the user uses the program.

This project was a culmination of various things learned through out the semester. A lot of class assignments required us to create simple, text based user interfaces and handle incorrect input from a user, which was used to ensure the user input was what I expected and did not contain anything that could break my program. We had to create structures and classes in C and C++, which was needed to create the linked list class and record structure that made up this project’s database. SCCS, Source Code Control System, was used for version control, so we could access older versions of our code in previous assignments. We learned how to create a Makefile to compile and link our files into an executable program with only one command. For this final project, not only did we have to use SCCS and a Makefile, but we also had to create a bash script named getrelease that would get all of the files necessary to run the project from SCCS in a single command.
