Dummy Stock Exchange (DSE) Project

This project is a simple implementation of a Dummy Stock Exchange (DSE) in C++, enhanced with additional features.

Implemented Features

   • Implemented robust error handling for user inputs to ensure data integrity.
   • Validated user inputs for stock symbols, prices, and quantities.

2. User Interaction:

   • Implemented a user-friendly menu system allowing users to easily interact with the program.
   • Provided options for buying, selling, checking the portfolio, and exiting the program.

3. Persistent Data Storage:

   • Portfolio data is stored in a file ("portfolio_data.txt") for persistence across sessions.

Work in Progress
