Project 4: Grocery Operations

Instructions

• adding an item to be carried in the grocery
• recieving a shipment for an item (stocking up)
• selling items
• checking how much stock is left for one or all of the items
• checking how much cash the grocery has on hand

1. Item represents an item to be carried in a grocery. Item objects should store its name (e.g., "butter"), unit name (e.g., "sticks"), buying price, selling price, and current stock level. Consult the documentation page for details on the constuctor and methods for this class.
2. Grocery represents the grocery object and should store an array or array list of items, and cash on hand for the grocery. When a grocery is created, it is given initial cash on hand (provided through the constructor) with no items carried yet. Operations performed on the Grocery oject eventually interacts with the corresponding project object. For example, when an item is sold, the selling price of the corresponding item object is accessed (so that cash on hand can be updated correctly) and then the stock level of that item is reduced. Consult the documentation page for details on the constuctor and methods for this class.
3. GroceryTester: Creates a Grocery object and tests methods of that class. This code is provided for you. Just create the class in BlueJ and cut and paste this text. When it executes, the following output should result.
4. GroceryConsole: Creates a Grocery object and prompts a user for activities to be carried out on the grocery. Begin by prompting for initial cash on hand amount, and proceed with a loop that repeatedly asks and carries out activities in the grocery.
