3.1 Pseudo Code

Here's a basic implementation of a Music Library System in C++:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>

using namespace std;

struct Song {
string title;
string artist;
string genre;
};
12 | P a g e
vector<Song> library;
vector<vector<Song>> playlists;

// Add a song to the library

void addSong() {
Song song;
cout << "Enter song title: ";
cin >> song.title;
cout << "Enter artist: ";
cin >> song.artist;
cout << "Enter genre: ";
cin >> song.genre;
library.push_back(song);
}

// Edit a song in the library

void editSong() {
string title;
cout << "Enter title of song to edit: ";
cin >> title;
for (auto &song : library) {
if (song.title == title) {
cout << "Enter new title: ";
cin >> song.title;
cout << "Enter new artist: ";
cin >> song.artist;
cout << "Enter new genre: ";
cin >> song.genre;
break;
}
}
}

// Create a playlist
void createPlaylist() {
vector<Song> playlist;
string title;
cout << "Enter playlist title: ";
cin >> title;
cout << "Enter songs to add (enter 'done' to finish): ";
string songTitle;
while (cin >> songTitle && songTitle != "done") {
for (const auto &song : library) {
if (song.title == songTitle) {
playlist.push_back(song);
break;
}
}
}
13 | P a g e
 playlists.push_back(playlist);
}

// Search for songs by artist or genre

void search() {
string query;
cout << "Enter artist or genre to search: ";
cin >> query;
cout << "Search results: ";
for (const auto &song : library) {
if (song.artist == query || song.genre == query) {
cout << song.title << " by " << song.artist << endl;
}
}
}

int main() {
int choice;
while (true) {
cout << "Music Library System" << endl;
cout << "1. Add song" << endl;
cout << "2. Edit song" << endl;
cout << "3. Create playlist" << endl;
cout << "4. Search" << endl;
cout << "5. Quit" << endl;
cin >> choice;
switch (choice) {
case 1:
addSong();
break;
case 2:
editSong();
break;
case 3:
createPlaylist();
break;
case 4:
search();
break;
case 5:
return 0;
}
}
}

This code provides basic functionality for managing a music library, including:

- Adding songs to the library

- Editing songs in the library
- Creating playlists
14 | P a g e
- Searching for songs by artist or genre

Note that this is a simplified example and can be extended and improved in various ways,
such as adding more features, handling errors, and using a more robust data structure for
storing songs and playlists.

Also, this code uses std::vector to store songs and playlists, which is a C++ feature. If you
need to implement this in C, you would need to use arrays and manage memory manually.
