  "account": "Version 4.0 of the Inventory Management System in C was developed during the author's studies in Systems Analysis and Development (ADS). The primary objective was to practice programming principles, data structures, functions, pointers, and file handling while constructing a practical application.\n\nThe system features an interactive menu that facilitates the management of products and inventory information. Key functionalities include registering new products, listing registered products, searching for products by code, updating product details, deleting products, checking inventory levels, calculating the total inventory value, and identifying the products with the highest and lowest inventory value.\n\nThe system also allows sorting of products by code and saves/load data using TXT files. The project employed several programming concepts such as structures, arrays of structures, functions, modular programming, pointers, conditional statements, loops, input validation, file handling using FILE, data persistence with fopen(), fprintf(), fscanf(), and fclose(), and the Bubble Sort algorithm.\n\nA significant aspect of the project was the capability to save product information in a TXT file, ensuring the preservation of registered products after the application is closed. Through this project, the author enhanced their comprehension of the C language and gained a deeper understanding of how programming concepts function in a real-world application. It also emphasized the significance of code organization, validation, problem-solving, and continuous learning.\n\nThe complete project can be accessed on GitHub: Inventory Management System – C ( https://github.com/gabrieljdsantos/sistema-de-estoque-em-c ). The author is Gabriel José dos Santos, an ADS student with a keen interest in software development, programming, and technology. He is continually learning, building projects, and striving to improve his skills as a developer.",
