Implement different algorithms to clear data:

• If the total is $0 then clear the file (.data.txt)

• If the user enters clear for the name of the transaction

• If the amount of transactions is at 9 transactions, follow steps below:

• clear the data file

• Automatically write "total" and the total of the amount owed to the file

Only one transaction should exist at the end of the auto transaction clear. (i.e.-the total)

POSIX pthread Implementation

Can pthread be used here?

If the arrays were pointer variables, could the pthread.h library be utilized?

-[] What if the data size was really large?
-[] Could the math for the total be done quicker?
-[] What if it performed calculations on categories (i.e.-similar transaction names, summing the amount and count)

Add file write to the application so that the users data is stored at the end of the file's already existing data. (i.e. - if the file already has 2 entries, the 3rd entry should be the data entered by the user)

• FILE WRITE added

Implement binary data files

Do so for the READ & WRITE functions in the app

• app can write (save) data as a binary file (.bin)
• app can read (open) data as a binary file (.bin)

Change over the function that gets the user's input to use pointers instead of arrays

• Use pointers on the name of the transaction
• Use pointers on the amount (x) being stored, make sure it acts like an array still

Change the file write function to use pointers instead of arrays

Add file read to the project, when first read into the application sort through the data read in printing out what is already saved (names_array, amount_array, grand_total)

• Add FILE READ to application
• Iterate through data printing out what has been previously stored

Switch the file read function to use pointers rather than arrays
