We are very indecisive. This is more true when it comes to picking our next meal. It gets tiring googling food near me and looking at the options and going from there. So this solves the problems our friends and us have, as well as many other college students.
The program prompts user for a cuisine type that they want as well as a general price range. The program will then return nearby places that fit these qualifications, from about 40 nearby restaurants to TCNJ. The program also returns how many miles away it is from TCNJ. If the user does not want anything in particular, they can select a surprise me option where the program will randomly generate a cuisine type.
We used C++. To store the restaurants we kept separate linked list objects which were made from objects of the restaurant class. We parsed through files of data for each cuisine type to store this in the linked list.
The most challenging aspect was reading from a file, as we both did not have too much experience using things such as ifstream.
We are proud that we were able to do this in, what we would say, a short time span. The program is useful to us and our friends so we are also proud that we can use it in the future.
We definitely strengthened our C++ knowledge. Previously, we did not know how to read from a file that was hardcoded into the program.
Since we are not able to do the front-end part yet, we hope in the future to learn how to implement this in a simple website to share with the rest of TCNJ!
