Store Management system

[work in progress]

Introduction

This repository contains a C++ implementation of a store system, designed to manage user accounts, seller accounts, inventory, and store operations. It provides functionalities for users to purchase products, sellers to manage their inventory, and administrators to oversee the system.

Components

1. Accounts:

   • Account: Base class representing user accounts. It encapsulates a username and password and provides authentication functionality.
   • UserAccount: Derived class representing user accounts. It includes a balance attribute for managing user finances.
   • SellerAccount: Derived class representing seller accounts. It enables sellers to view users' balances.

2. Inventory:

   • Product: Class representing products available in the inventory. It includes attributes such as ID, name, category, price, and quantity.
