Every stock is identified by a stock symbol – which is a string. Then, the stock market takes over and the stock-price fluctuates with the buying and selling of the stock.

Read in an input file of stocks – stocks.txt with initial stock values (name, volume, price) for 5 stocks. The broker has initial cash in hand - $10000.

Create a menu to enable the broker to select and buy or sell stocks, view current state, and exit. Note – you cannot buy more that available stocks and cannot spend more that you have towards buying. Similarly, you cannot sell more than what you have.
