Project Objective:

To develop a console-based movie recommendation system using C++ that suggests movies to users based on their preferences, such as genre, ratings, or previous choices. The goal is to simulate the logic behind real-world recommendation engines while applying core programming concepts in C++.

???? Core Features:

1. User Interaction:

• Menu-driven interface for users to:
• Select favorite genres
• Rate previously watched movies
• View recommended movies

2. Recommendation Logic:

• Based on one or more of the following:
• Genre matching (e.g., user likes action, show more action movies)
• Rating-based filtering (e.g., movies above 4 stars)
• User-based filtering (optional: compare with similar users’ preferences)

3. Movie Database:

• A local file or in-memory dataset of movies with:
• Title
• Genre
• Rating
• Release year
• Stored using arrays, structs, or classes

4. Sorting & Searching:

• Use C++ algorithms to:
• Sort movies by rating or year
• Search movies by name or genre

????️ Technology Stack:

1. C++ (Core Language) – for program logic and data handling
2. File I/O – to load/save movie data and user preferences
3. OOP Concepts – classes for Movie, User, etc.
4. Optional: Use STL (vectors, maps) for dynamic data handling

✅ Project Outcome:

• A working terminal-based app that gives movie suggestions based on user input
• Demonstrates:
• C++ programming fundamentals
• File handling
• Object-oriented programming
• Simple recommendation logic
