-else
-the user's cash is correspondingly reduced.
-the volume of stocks bought is subtracted from the all stocks table.

Open Source technologies used:

Python-Flask (backend framework):


Python is an interpreted high-level programming language for general-purpose
programming. Here Python is used to run the backend of the website. Python's Flask
framework is used to support the development of web applications including web
services, web resources, and web APIs. Flask is a micro web framework written in
Python and based on the Werkzeug toolkit and Jinja2 template engine. It provide a
standard way to build and deploy web applications and aims to automate the
overhead associated with common activities performed in web development. It
provides libraries for database access, templating frameworks, and session
management, and promotes code reuse. Although it targets development of dynamic web
sites, it can also be applicable to static websites.

Bootstrap (frontend framework):


Bootstrap is a free and open-source front-end library to build responsive, mobile-
first projects like websites and web applications. It contains HTML- and CSS-based
design templates for typography, forms, buttons, navigation and other interface
components, as well as optional JavaScript extensions.

MySQL (DBMS):
MySQL is an open-source relational database management system based on Structured
Query Language(SQL). MySQL runs on virtually all platforms, including Linux, UNIX,
and Windows. Although it can be used in a wide range of applications, MySQL is most
often associated with web-based applications and online publishing.
