/*

A book shop maintains the inventory of books that are being sold at shop.

The list includes details such as author,title,price,publisher and stock

position.Whwnever customer wants a book the sale person inputs the title and

author and the system searches the list and display wheather it is available

or not.If it is not appropretae message is displayed.If it is,then system

displays book details and request for no. of copies required.If requested

copies are available,the total cost of requested copies is displayed,

otherwise "requested copies not in stock ." is displayed.Design a system

using class called book with suitable member function and contructor.

Use new operator in construtor to allocate memory. Implement c++ program

for system*/
