This C++ code is a program that parses a user selection to either read customer data from "clienti.txt" or order data from "ordini.txt," processes the data, sorts it optionally for orders, and then displays the details in the console. Here's a detailed explanation:
Key Features and Workflow:
-
Abstract Base Class (
Log
):- Provides a virtual function
stampa()
for polymorphic behavior. BothCliente
andOrdine
classes inherit from this and implement their own version ofstampa()
.
- Provides a virtual function
-
Cliente Class:
- Represents a customer with attributes such as
nome
(name),cognome
(surname),email
, andpuntiFedelta
(loyalty points). - Its
stampa()
function prints the customer's details in a formatted manner.
- Represents a customer with attributes such as
-
Ordine Class:
- Represents an order with attributes such as
prodotto
(product name),cid
(client ID),quantita
(quantity), andprezzo
(price). - Its
stampa()
function prints order details along with a calculated estimated total value (quantita * prezzo
).
- Represents an order with attributes such as
-
Main Function Execution:
- Asks the user whether they want to view "Cliente" (customers) or "Ordine" (orders).
- Based on the choice:
- For Cliente:
- Opens the file
clienti.txt
(expected format in each line:nome cognome email puntiFedelta
), parses this data, and stores it inlogs
as smart pointers (std::unique_ptr
) toCliente
objects.
- Opens the file
- For Ordine:
- Opens the file
ordini.txt
(expected format in each line:cid prodotto quantita prezzo
), parses this data, and stores it inlogs
as smart pointers (std::unique_ptr
) toOrdine
objects. - Prompts the user to input a sorting criterion: either "quantita" (quantity) or "prezzo" (price).
- Data is sorted using
std::sort
based on the specified criterion using dynamic casting for comparison ofOrdine
objects.
- Opens the file
- For Cliente:
-
Polymorphic Display:
- Iterates through the
logs
container and calls thestampa()
method on each object. This polymorphic behavior ensures the correctstampa()
method is invoked, either fromCliente
orOrdine
.
- Iterates through the
-
Error Handling:
- Validates the files (
clienti.txt
orordini.txt
) can be opened. If not, it prints an error and exits. - Handles malformed lines in the input files (e.g., lines that don't meet the expected data format).
- Validates the files (
Example Behavior:
- If the user selects
Cliente
, the program reads the fileclienti.txt
, processes the data to construct a list ofCliente
objects, and displays their details. - If the user selects
Ordine
, the program reads the fileordini.txt
, processes the data intoOrdine
objects, prompts for sorting (either byquantita
orprezzo
), applies the sorting, and displays the sorted data.
Key Aspects Handled:
-
Dynamic Polymorphism with Smart Pointers:
- Uses
std::unique_ptr
for memory management, avoiding manualdelete
calls. - The
Log
base class ensures bothCliente
andOrdine
are handled uniformly when stored in the same container.
- Uses
-
User Interaction:
- Prompts the user for choices (Cliente/Ordine, sorting criteria).
- Ensures user inputs are interpreted case-insensitively (
cliente
andCliente
are treated the same, for example).
-
File Operations:
- Reads two potential text files (
clienti.txt
andordini.txt
) and processes line-by-line input according to the expected formats.
- Reads two potential text files (
-
Sorting with Comparison Logic:
- For
Ordine
objects, sorting is done dynamically via lambda functions that usedynamic_cast
to safely cast from theLog
base class toOrdine
.
- For
Errors or Shortcomings:
- The program assumes that
clienti.txt
andordini.txt
exist and are accessible in the program's directory. - The fields in the files must be correctly formatted; otherwise, the program will skip malformed lines.
- There is no mechanism to add additional choices or operations at runtime without modifying the code.
General Output of the Program:
The exact output depends on the user's choice, the input data in the respective files, and the optional sorting criteria for Ordine
.
For example:
clienti.txt
:
John Doe johndoe@example.com 120
Jane Smith janesmith@example.com 95
ordini.txt
:
C001 Laptop 2 500.0
C002 Phone 5 200.0
C003 Mouse 10 25.0
User selects Cliente
:
Cliente: John Doe (johndoe@example.com) - Punti: 120
Cliente: Jane Smith (janesmith@example.com) - Punti: 95
User selects Ordine
and sorts by Prezzo
:
[C003] Mouse Quantita: 10 Prezzo: 25 -> Stima valore totale: 250 €
[C002] Phone Quantita: 5 Prezzo: 200 -> Stima valore totale: 1000 €
[C001] Laptop Quantita: 2 Prezzo: 500 -> Stima valore totale: 1000 €
