      Key Features:<\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. Persistent Storage<\/strong>: Library data is saved in library.dat<\/code> and loaded automatically at startup.<\/li>\n
      2. Menu-Driven Interface<\/strong>: Simplifies user interaction.<\/li>\n
      3. Basic Functionalities<\/strong>: Adding, displaying, issuing, and returning books.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
        Compilation and Execution:<\/h3>\n
          \n
        1. Save the code in a file named library_management.c<\/code>.<\/li>\n
        2. Compile it using:\n
          gcc library_management.c -o library_management\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
        3. Run the program:\n
          .\/library_management\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
          Potential Enhancements:<\/h3>\n
            \n
          1. Search Functionality<\/strong>: Allow searching by title or author.<\/li>\n
          2. Advanced Status<\/strong>: Track who issued the book and due dates.<\/li>\n
          3. Sorting<\/strong>: Display books sorted by title, author, or ID.<\/li>\n
          4. Graphical Interface<\/strong>: Use a library like GTK for GUI.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            This implementation provides a solid foundation for a library management system in C.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
