INTRODUCTION The Inventory Management System is a console-based application developed using the C programming language to manage product records in an efficient and structured manner. It is designed to simulate a basic real-world inventory system used in shops, warehouses, and small businesses for tracking product details such as product ID, name,.
A single-file C console app for tracking inventory (add/display/search/delete products) using a linked list, with basic text-file persistence. It's a classic student data-structures assignment, not a tool anyone would run in production.
Uses a linked list instead of a fixed array, so it's not artificially capped at some MAX_PRODUCTS. Persists to a text file and reloads on startup, so state survives between runs. Does basic input validation on fields like quantity and ID rather than trusting raw scanf input blindly.
Everything lives in one file (src/inventory.c) with zero commit history beyond the initial drop, no tests, and no indication of error handling around file I/O (what happens if the file is missing, corrupted, or locked). Linked list + linear search by ID means lookups and deletes are O(n) with no indexing, fine for a toy dataset but the README oversells it as simulating 'real-world inventory systems used in shops, warehouses, and small businesses,' which this can't actually support at any real scale or with concurrent access. No build instructions, Makefile, or compiler flags shown, so getting it running requires guessing. Zero stars, zero forks, and a README written in the generic 'intro/conclusion' style typical of coursework submissions rather than an actual project README.
