USING C++

Activities

Activities in this lab are a continuation of the previous labs. So, make sure that your code from previous labs is complete and running flawlessly.

Declare a vector of type Asset called libDB (library database). Inside your program, open the file input.txt then in a loop do the following:

Read a line from the file

Declare a temporary variable of type Asset called ast

Parse the line that you read from the file and fill out the fields of this struct using the

information from the line.

Push the temporary variable ast inside the vector libDB.

Do these operations till you reach the end of the file.

Note: Every line of the input.txt file contains information related to one asset of the library. As an example, lets have a look at the first line:

book;Introduction to C++;James Smith,Jane Smith;1998;1234AB;8888;20;5; It contains several fields of information that are separated by semicolons (;). These fields are as follows:
