Q1. Design and implement a simple Book-Organizing Module of a Library Management System using C programming.

Description:

Create a menu driven application that allows the user to manage the books in a library. The application should enable users to perform the following operations:

1. Add a new book record.
2. Display all book records.
3. Search a book by its ISBN.
4. Search a book by its Author.
5. Search a book by its Title.
6. Update a book record.
7. Delete a book record.
8. Save book records to a file.
9. Load book records from a file.
10.Exit.

Implement the following functions:

• void addBook(Book books[], int *count)
• void displayBooks(const Book books[], int count)
• int searchBookByISBN(const Book books[], int count, const char *isbn)
• void updateBook(Book books[], int count, const char *isbn)
• void deleteBook(Book books[], int *count, const char *isbn)
• void saveToFile(const Book books[], int count, const char *filename)
• void loadFromFile(Book books[], int *count, const char *filename)

Menu

• Implement a menu-driven system that allows the user to choose the operation they want to perform.

File Handling

• Use file handling to save the book records to a file and load them back when the program starts.

Note: You must execute the program and submit the program logic, sample input and output along with the necessary documentation for this practical question. Assumptions can be made wherever necessary

Q1. Write an interactive C program which prompts the user with the following options on the opening menu:

1) General Information of the Learner Support Centre(LSC)
2) Programmes activated in the study centre
3) Scheduling of theory/practical sessions for BCA-MCA programmes
4) Academic Councillor’s Details
5) Schedules for Assignment submissions for various programmes
6) Quit
Enter your choice:

If an “1” is entered, prompt the user to enter the study centre code and know the genearl details about the study like name of the learner support centre(LSC), name of the regional centre, name of the study centre coordinator, programme in-charge details etc. If “2” is entered, it should give the details of all the programmes those are activated in the LSC. If “3” is entered, it should give the schedules for the theory and practical counselling sessions for BCA and MCA programmes for the current session. If “4” is entered it should display the details of the academic councillors’ associated with respective programmes. If “5” is entered it should display the assignments submission schedules for various programmes for the current session activated in that LSC. If the user enters any letters or numbers other than the choice, redisplay the prompt. All output should go to the terminal and all input should come from the keyboard.

Note: You must execute the program and submit the program logic, sample input and output along with the necessary documentation for this practical question. Assumptions can be made wherever necessary.
