   2 //  A Bookshop Inventory Management System
   3 /*  A small Bookshop maintains the inventory of books sold in the shop. The list
   4  *  includes (but is not limited to) the following details:
   5  *   Author's name,
   6  *   Title of the book(s),
   7  *   Price of each each book,
   8  *   Publisher of each book,
   9  *   Stock levels of each type in a tabular form as shown below
  10  *  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  11  *  |                  BOOKSHOP DATABASE                                   |
  12  *  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  13  *  | Author's Name | Book Title | Unit Price | Publisher | Stock Count    |
  14  *  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  15  *  | Deitel & Deitel| C++...Program| $2500.00| Pearson   |   15 Copies    |
  16  *  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  17  *  |                |            |            |           |               |
  18  *  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  19  *
  20  *  Whenever a customer wants a book, the sales person inputs the title and author
  21  *  and the system searches the list (database) and displays whether it is available
  22  *  or not. If available, the total cost of the requested copies is displayed;
  23  *  otherwise the message "Required copies not in stock" is displayed.
  24  *
  25  *  Design a system using a class called books with suitable member functions,
  26  *  member variables and constructors. Use the New operator in your constructors
  27  *  to apportion possible memory requriements. Objects created in main should be
  28  *  able to access appropriate member functions to carry out whichever task(s) they
  29  *  are designed to perform.
  30  *
  31  *  In writing your program, use comments to facilitate comprehension and explain
  32  *  all assumptions you might be forced to make for the system to function
  33  *  optimally. Innovation as well as user friendliness of your interface would be
  34  *  rewarded.
