Objective In this lab you will write a program that maintains information for an online bookstore, similar to the information on Amazon. The program will allow you to add and delete books from the bookstore inventory, to search the inventory for books by name or by rating, and to print out part or all of the book inventory. The data in your book inventory will be stored in memory with the use of a linked list, with list nodes representing books in the inventory. Each node will contain members for storing a book’s name (char * ) and author (char * ), its rating (int) and its category (char). There are four possible categories, each of which is identified by the first character in the words (F)iction, (H)istory, (P)hilosophy and (A)rts. Your linked list must be kept in a special order, with all the fiction books first, then the history books, then the philosophy books, and finally the arts books. If there is more than one book in the same category, then the books should be kept in order of their insertion (e.g., the last history book in the inventory should be the history book most recently inserted into the list; the first art book in the inventory should be the art book that was inserted first into the list, and so on). Books with duplicate names are not allowed in the inventory. You must detect such cases, disallow them and print an error. However, you can assume that the user enters a valid author, rating, and category. Your program should be menu driven, with the user being offered a choice of the six commands described below: Insert a new book into the bookstore inventory. The program should prompt the user for a book name and author name, a rating and a category. This information should be placed in a new node that has been created using the malloc function. And then the node should be inserted at the appropriate category in the linked list that stores the inventory data. Don’t forget that the inventory must be stored in a special order, by considering the book’s category first, and then (if needed) the order of insertion. If a node with the given name is already in the inventory, an error message should be produced and the new node should not be inserted into the linked list. Delete a book from the bookstore inventory. The program should prompt the user for the name of the book to be deleted and then delete the node containing that name from the linked list that stores the bookstore inventory. If no book with the given name is found in the inventory, an error message should be produced. Print the bookstore inventory, following a special order. Print the name, author, rating and category of each book, with each piece of information on a separate line. A blank line should be printed between each book. The special order assumes that the fiction books appear first, then the history books, then the philosophy books, and finally the art books. If a category has more than one book, then they should be printed in order of their insertion. Search for a book using a name. The program should print the name of the book, as well as its author, rating and category, with each piece of information on a separate line. Search results should be printed using the same ordering defined for the Print function. If no book with the provided name is found in the inventory, an error message should be produced. Search for books in the inventory that are rated higher than or equal to a given rating. The program should print the name, author, rating and category of any book that is rated higher than or equal to an input rating, with each piece of book information on a separate line. Search results should be printed using the same ordering defined for the Print function. A blank line should be printed between each book (if more than one is found). If no book in the inventory is rated higher than or equal to the given rating, an error message should be produced. use template given ****MUST BE FINISHED IN 24hrs****see pdf
