Flight Sorting System

Tech Stack

• C++
• GUI: FLTK (Fast Light Toolkit)

Description

This project focuses on implementing a flight sorting system that allows users to sort flights based on various criteria. The system provides a command-line interface as well as a graphical user interface (GUI) for input and visualization. It utilizes C++ programming, algorithm design, and GUI development.

The project has two main subsystems: the input subsystem and the output subsystem.

Input Subsystem

The input subsystem handles user input and supports two modes:

1. Command-Line Interface (CLI): The handleCommandLine function processes the command-line arguments provided by the user.
2. Graphical User Interface (GUI): The handleInputGUI function creates a GUI window for users to enter all the necessary arguments.

Output Subsystem

The output subsystem generates three types of output:

1. Visualization: The sorting process is visualized through a graphical interface using the FLTK library. The VisualizerWindow class displays the sorted flights with interactive animations.
2. Console Output: The printAllData function prints the gathered data and the sorted flights to the console.
3. File Output: The printAllData function also writes the gathered data and the sorted flights to an output file.

How to Run

To run the Flight Sorting System, follow the steps below:

1. Clone the repository:
2. Set up the FLTK library
3. Compile the C++ source files:

g++ -std=c++11 -o flight_sorting main.cpp -lfltk

4. Run the program:

./flight_sorting

Please note that the FLTK library is required for running the graphical user interface (GUI).
