🚀 Introduction
The Medical
Store Management System is a simple C
programming project designed for school
students (ages 8-16) as an academic
project. It helps manage medicine
inventory, generate invoices, and handle billing, making it an ideal beginner-level system using file-based storage in C.
This system is a console-based program that follows a modular approach and includes basic CRUD operations to manage medicines.
📌 Features of the
Medical Store Management System
✅
Inventory
Management
– Add, display, update, and remove medicines
✅ Billing System – Generate invoices for customers
✅ Stock Management – Keep track of medicine availability
✅ File-Based Storage – Uses inventory.dat to store data permanently
✅ User-Friendly Menu – Simple
menu-driven interface for easy interaction
This project adheres to basic C programming guidelines, using Code::Blocks IDE with MinGW C Compiler
for compilation and execution.
💻 Implementation
Overview
📜 1. Project
Structure
The system follows a single-file design (medical_store.c) with separate functions handling:
●
addMedicine() – Add new medicines
●
displayMedicines() – Show all medicines
●
updateStock() – Update quantity
●
removeMedicine() – Remove
expired/out-of-stock medicines
●
generateInvoice() – Create a bill for the
customer
📂 2. Data Storage
(File Handling)
All medicines are stored in a binary file (inventory.dat),
ensuring data is saved permanently.
Each medicine entry is stored using the
following structure:
struct Medicine {
int
id;
char
name[50];
float price;
int
quantity;
char
expiry_date[15];
};
Data is loaded and updated dynamically, making the system efficient and
persistent.
