Rithik-HyperLoop69/Ecommerce-Order-Management
A console application in C for managing e-commerce orders — supports adding, searching, updating, and persisting order records.
A C programming course final project — a console app for managing e-commerce orders with CRUD operations and flat-file persistence. It is a learning exercise, not a tool for any real use case. The target audience is students learning C structs and file I/O.
Covers the fundamentals a C student needs to practice: structs, file I/O with delimited formats, input validation loops, and a menu-driven CLI. The README honestly acknowledges it's a course project and lists its own limitations, which is more self-aware than most student repos. The pipe-delimited storage format is straightforward and easy to inspect by hand.
The entire application is one flat C file with a hard-coded 100-order array — no dynamic allocation, no linked list, nothing that scales. The `.exe` binary is committed to the repo, which is bad practice. There is no delete function, which makes it incomplete even on its own terms. The 'real-world use cases' section in the README is pure padding — this is not a blueprint for logistics backends.
