Grocery Store Checkout System in C using Files

Not what you're looking for?

Ask Custom Question

Please help with the following as it relates to the existing code (separate attachment)

Instead of getting the product names and prices from the standard input, enhance the program to read it from a file instead. Do not hard-code the filename within the program; ask the user to enter it instead. Also, enhance the program to support up to 100 product entries. Note that each line of input starts with a new field "product code", so define a new array to store the product codes as well. Within the checkout procedure's loop, instead of listing all the products and asking the user to select one by the index, ask the user to input a product code and search for it in the product code array to find the corresponding product. Please include comments throughout the code. Also, please provide a flowchart of the code. Thank you.
Example of what it should look like (User inputs in Red):
Grocery Checkout Program
Enter the input filename: data.txt
Input: 9516 1.99 Apples
Input: 9234 0.99 Oranges
Input: 9745 1.19 Tomatoes
