Greetings

I have a c++ problem that i have to solve in one week,
Can anyone of you guys help?




The program should be-menu-driven with the following options:

1. Purchase a DVD

2. Search for a DVD

3. Remove a DVD from Stock

4. Exit

Include a member function called display that will display the details in the
following format:

DVD Number : 1234
Title : Father of the bride 2
Category : Comedy
Price : R 79.00
Number of copies : 10



1.PURCHASE A DVD

This program should prompt the user to enter the DVD Number of the DVD that the user
wishes to purchase and the number of copies they wish to buy. Program must search
the text file for that DVD and update the text file, depending on how many DVDs are
purchased. If the DVD does not exist, a message must be displayed and the user must
be allowed to make another purchase.


2. SEARCH FOR A DVD
When this option is selected, the user is allowed to search for a DVD. the user must
select whether they wish to search for a DVD by number or title. if the DVD is found
in the textile, display the details of the DVD using the display method.


3. REMOVE DVD FROM STOCK
The user must provide the either the DVD number or title. The DVD must be removed
from dvds.txt textile and written to a new file called deleteddvds.txt. The new
textile must store the DVD number, title, category, price and no. of copies.




A DVD object is not allowed to have less than 2 copies of a DVD stored in the object.
If they are then the number of copies must be reset to 10. The user must be allowed
to purchase as many DVDs as the could.

My problem is how do I write such a program?
First of all, you need to know some C++. If you don't, buy yourself a book about it or at least go through some tutorials.

Then you do as much as you can and ask here if you get stuck.
