Supermarket Billing System
Project Overview
This project is a simple, command-line (or basic GUI, depending on your implementation) application developed in Java to facilitate easy and efficient billing in a supermarket or retail store environment. It aims to automate the process of calculating product prices, quantities, and generating a final bill for customers.
Features
- Product Input: Allows users to input product names, quantities, and their respective unit prices.
- Real-time Calculation: Automatically calculates the subtotal for each item and a grand total for the entire bill.
- Bill Generation: Displays a clear, itemized summary of the purchased items and the total amount due.
- User-Friendly Interface: (Choose one or modify based on your implementation)
- Command-Line Interface (CLI): Simple text-based interaction for quick operations.
- Graphical User Interface (GUI): Provides a more intuitive visual experience with interactive elements.
- Error Handling (Optional/Basic): Includes basic checks for invalid inputs (e.g., non-numeric values for quantity/price).
Technologies Used
- Language: Java (JDK)
- Build Tool: Standard Java Compiler (Javac)
- (Optional: If you used Maven/Gradle, add: “Maven / Gradle for dependency management and project build.”)
- IDE: Developed using [e.g., IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, VS Code]
- UI Framework: (Only if you built a GUI, delete if CLI) [e.g., Java Swing, JavaFX]
How to Run
To run this project on your local machine:
- Clone the repository:
git clone [https://github.com/i-piyush10/Billing-System.git](https://github.com/i-piyush10/Billing-System.git)
cd Billing-System
- Compile the Java code:
(Assuming your main file is
SupermarketBillingSystem.java)
javac SupermarketBillingSystem.java
(If you have multiple files or packages, you might need to compile differently, e.g., javac *.java or use an IDE’s build function.)
- Run the application:
java SupermarketBillingSystem
Future Enhancements (Ideas)
- Add a persistent storage mechanism (e.g., using files or a database) to store product inventories and past bills.
- Implement user authentication for cashiers.
- Include discount application functionality.
- Generate printable bill receipts.
- Improve error handling and input validation.
- Develop a more robust GUI with advanced features.
