This repository contains my solution to the test 2 problem below

Test 2 Problem

Write a C++ container class in which e-commerce orders for products are stored. For each product a list of orders are stored. Each order is composed of:

• The product identifier;
• The order identifier;
• The order priority: fast delivery, normal delivery;
• The order price.

All orders have to be printed on the standard output using a dedicated function. The output requirements are:

• Print the fast delivery order first;
• Fast delivery orders have to be printed in descending order of price;
• Normal delivery orders have to be printed in ascending order of price.

	class Order_Base {
		public:
		/*
		This function is called to add an order.

		- productId: uniquely indentifies a product
		- orderId: uniquely identifies an order
		- deliveryType: 0 for normal, 1 for fast
		- price: the order price

		Returns 0 on success, -1 in case of errros
		*/
		virtual int addOrder(const std::string &productId, const std::string &orderId, int deliveryType, double price) = 0;

		/*
		This function is called to remove an existing order.

		- productId: uniquely indentifies a product
		- orderId: uniquely identifies an order

		Returns 0 on success, -1 in case of errros
		*/
		virtual int removeOrder(const std::string &productId, const std::string &orderId) = 0;

		/*
		This function prints the orders according to the requirements.
		*/
		virtual void print() = 0;
	};

The solution

1. Possible to load order list from comma separated file.

   bin/ECommerce_Exercise inputs.txt
   

   Program will automatically load list of orders on startup
2. Run program from Makefile

   make run
