Expense Management System

Overview

This project provides a basic system for managing and tracking expenses. It supports categorizing expenses and associating them with different users.

How to Use

1. Include the Header File

2. Create and Manage Expenses:

   • Instantiate a System object to handle expenses.
   • Use the add_expense method to add expenses for a user.

3. Retrieve Expenses:

   • Call get_expenses to get a list of expenses for a specific user.
   • Use get_expense_top to retrieve the most recent expense for a user.

Example

#include "ExpenseSystem.h"

int main() {
    System system;

    // Add expenses for a user
    system.add_expense("Alice", SHOPPING, 50.0f);
    system.add_expense("Alice", BILLS, 30.0f);

    // Retrieve and display all expenses for the user
    auto expenses = system.get_expenses("Alice");
    for (const auto& expense : expenses) {
        std::cout << expense;
    }

    return 0;
}

Notes

Expenses are categorized using the ExpenseCategory enum. The system assigns a unique ID to each expense. For more details, refer to the class definitions in the header file.
