Introduction
An effective and user-friendly grocery shopping cart enhances the shopping
experience for customers and benefits retailers by promoting convenience,
efficiency, and satisfaction.
For Customers its about:
- Convenience
- Accessibility
- Efficiency
For Retailers it’s about:
- Customer satisfaction
- Adaptability
- Promotes eco-friendly usage
The downtown market interface helps in going back to the page and easily
adding the items as well as the quantity.
This interface also adds the GST to the total bill. Also adds a copy of the bill to
bill.txt file
Objectives
Making it User Friendly
The objective of this is to make grocery shopping easy and in the most
efficient way
Easy To operate for anyone
This can be used by anyone as it is very easy to operate with simple
instructions.
Algorithm
1. Program Entry: main()
- Prints a welcome message.
- Calls showCategories() to start the menu-driven item selection
process.
2. Function: showCategories()
- A while (1) loop repeatedly displays a menu:
1] Fruits and Vegetables
2] Snacks
3] Wellness
4] Show Bill
5] Exit
- Based on the user’s input (choice), different functions are called:
- Choice Action
- 1 Calls purchaseItem() for Orange, Apple, Potato
- 2 Calls purchaseItem() for Chips, Noodles, Fries
- 3 Calls purchaseItem() for Vicks, Bandaid, Dettol
- 4 Calls showBill() to print and save bill
- 5 Exits the loop with a thank-you message
- OtherPrints "Invalid choice!" and loops again
3. Function: purchaseItem(const char* name, int price)
- Asks the user how many units of a specific item they want.
- Reads the quantity using scanf().
- Calls addToCart() with the name, price, and quantity.
4. Function: addToCart()
- Dynamically allocates memory for a new item.
- Fills in its fields: name, price, quantity.
- Inserts it at the beginning of the cart linked list.
- Updates totalCost += price * quantity.
- Prints a message confirming addition to the cart.
5. Function: showBill()
- Opens bill.txt in write mode.
- If the file fails to open, prints an error and returns.
- Otherwise:
Prints and writes a table of all items in the cart (from the linked list).
- Calculates:
GST = 18% of totalCost
- Final total = totalCost + GST
- Displays and writes the GST and final total.
- Closes the file and confirms bill saving.
Data Structures Used
CartItem (Struct):
typedef struct CartItem {
char name[30];
int price;
int quantity;
struct CartItem* next;
} CartItem;
A linked list node storing an item’s name, price, quantity, and pointer to the
next item.
Global Variables:
CartItem* cart = NULL; → head of the linked list (cart)
int totalCost = 0; → total cart value before GST

// Function to handle purchasing items
void purchaseItem(const char* name, int price) {
int quantity;
