Advanced Library Management System

This project is a C++ based Library System designed to manage books, users, and their interactions through a simple yet effective interface. This project showcases object-oriented programming concepts like inheritance and encapsulation, and serves as a strong foundation for expanding into a more feature-rich library management tool.

Features & Structure

Book Class

Represents individual books in the library, storing details such as:

  • Title
  • Author
  • Genre
  • Year of publication

Library Class

Manages the library's book collection, with functionality to:

  • Add new books
  • Remove existing ones
  • Search for specific titles

LibraryUser Class

A base class representing a general library user. Stores:

  • User name
  • Unique user ID

Teacher Class (inherits from LibraryUser)

Represents teachers using the system. Includes attributes and methods specific to teachers.

Student Class (inherits from LibraryUser)

Represents students using the system. Includes attributes and methods specific to students.

main.cpp (Driver Code)

Acts as the entry point and user interface for the program. Enables interaction with the system’s classes and methods.

How to Run the Program

Make sure all required .cpp and .hpp files are in the same directory.

1. Compile the Code

Using g++ or any modern C++ compiler:

g++ -std=c++11 main.cpp book.cpp library.cpp libraryuser.cpp student.cpp teacher.cpp -o library-system

2. Run the Executable

./library-system
