Answer to Question #306093 in C++ for Rival

Question

Write a program in C++ that uses a structure to store the following product data in a file (File 

Name: product.txt):

Product ID

Product Name

Quantity 

Wholesale Cost

Retail Cost

Date Added to Product

The program should have a menu that allows the user to perform the following tasks:

• Add new records to the file.

• Display any record in the file.

The program should calculate and display the following data:

• The total wholesale value of the product

• The total retail value of the product

Input Validation: The program should not accept quantities, or wholesale or retail costs, less 

than 0. The program should not accept dates that the programmer determines are unreasonable.
