Simple C++ Online Store (Console App)

This is a simple console-based online store management system written in C++.
It demonstrates the use of STL containers (vector, deque, list, set, map, unordered_map, multimap, unordered_set) and basic C++ programming concepts.

Features

• Add and manage products and customers
• Place orders and track order history
• View recent customers and all registered customers
• Track product stock and categories
• Admin and customer interfaces
• Date and time formatting for order history

How to Build

You need a C++ compiler (like g++ from MinGW or GCC):

g++ -o stlStore stlStore.cpp

For a statically linked Windows executable (no DLLs needed):

g++ -static -o stlStore.exe stlStore.cpp

How to Run

./stlStore

or on Windows:

stlStore.exe
