Look inside
Imagine that you’re a programmer hired by a shop to build a basic digital infrastructure. In this liveProject, you’ll use Julia to create a simple stock tracker that implements the four steps of the shopping process. You’ll start by building a structure for your shop, then you’ll write a function to manage inventory delivery as well as one to keep track of items sold. You’ll wrap up by creating a function to handle cash transactions. When you’re done, you’ll have hands-on experience using basic Julia tools including functions, arrays, and dictionaries, as well as more advanced tools such as multiple dispatch and composite types.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
