Description of the Problem
A point of sale machine shown below is found in all retail
stores. The machine has a barcode reader attached to it and
a touch screen for the user to interact with. When a new
customer comes to the checkout counter, the cashier of the
machine interacts with the menu on the touch screen. For
example, he or she may press on a new sale button to start a
new sale. The operator then starts to enter the barcodes of
the items in the customers basket or trolley. As soon as an
item is scanned, the price of that item is added to the
subtotal. When the items are all scanned, the cashier presses on another button to end the
same. The total amount of the transaction is shown to the customer and cashier. The customer
hands over the money to the cashier who enters the amount received from the customer to see
how much to return to them.
We want to write the program that runs on this point of sale machine with barcode
and practice functions in the process. For security, we will require the cashier to enter a
passcode before they can access the machine. At the end of day, the cashier presses on a
button to find the total for the entire day, which should be inside the machine. After verifying
the amount, they can exist the system by pressing on another button. The following is the
prices of the items in the store.
Barcode
Price (AED)
123
10.5
124
5.99
125
1.99
126
0.99
Study the given code and complete the missing NewSale function. Also provide another
function getPrice that will return the price of a particular barcode (provided as a parameter
value). The getPrice function will be called by the NewSale function.

The following shows a sample output. Note that the correct passcode/PIN is 1234.
Please enter the PIN
1111
Passcode incorrect
Please enter the PIN
2222
Passcode incorrect
Please enter the PIN
1234
Please choose from the following list
1. New Sale
2. End Day
3. Exit
1
Barcode> 123
Total = 10.5
Barcode> 124
Total = 16.49
Barcode> 123
Total = 26.99
Barcode> 123
Total = 37.49
Barcode> -1
Total = 37.49
Enter amount paid

Return 2.51
Please choose from the following list
1. New Sale
2. End Day
3. Exit

Barcode> 123
Total = 10.5
