1. Introduction

This project is a C++ program that calculates the cost of a movie production. The program reads a CSV file with the cast of the movie and calculates the cost of the production based on the cast. The program also generates a CSV file with the cast and the cost of the production.

2. Project Description

The project does the following:

• Reads a CSV file with the cast of the movie
• Generates random names for extra cast members
• Uses object-oriented programming to store the cast, the cost of the production and the cost of each cast member. The cast is stored in a vector of objects of the class CastMember.
• Calculates the cost of the production based on the cast, transport, hotel, food, drinks, makeup, etc.
• Generates a CSV file with the cast and the cost of the production

3. Data

The data used in this project is taken from IMBD. The data is stored in a CSV file. The raw data was modified to fit the needs of the program. The data is stored in the following format:

• The first line is the header of the CSV file
• The first column is the name of the cast member
• The second column is the function of the cast member

4. OOP Technicalities:

• The class CastMember is used to store the cast members. The class has the following attributes:
  • nume - string
  • functie - string
  • clasa - string
  • dieta - string
• The class CastMember has the following methods:
  • getNume() - returns the name of the cast member
  • getFunctie() - returns the function of the cast member
  • getClasa() - returns the class of the cast member
  • getDieta() - returns the diet of the cast member
  • setNume(string nume) - sets the name of the cast member
  • setFunctie(string functie) - sets the function of the cast member
• The class Cost is used to store the cost of the production. The class has the following attributes:
  • costTransport - double
  • costHotel - double
  • costBautura - double
  • costMachiaj - double
  • costDieta - double
  • costFilmari - double
  • costTotal - double
• FileProcessor class is used to read and write data from and to files. The class has the following attributes:
  • cast - vector
  • cost - Cost
• The class FileProcessor has the following methods:
  • readCastFile(string filename) - reads the cast from the CSV file
  • writeFinalCastFile(string filename) - writes the cast and the cost of the production to a CSV file
  • writeMenuFile(string filename) - writes the menu to a CSV file
  • writeCostFile(string filename) - writes the cost of the production to a CSV file
  • getCast() - returns the cast
  • getCost() - returns the cost of the production

5. Results

The program generates a CSV file with the cast and the cost of the production
