Inventory Program

Write a program that uses a structure to store the following inventory information in a Binary file and access it using Random Access Method:

Item description
Quantity on hand
Wholesale cost
Retail cost
Date added to inventory

The program should have a menu that allows the user to perform the following tasks:

Add new records to the file
Display any record in the file
Change any record in the file

For exact menu option text please see the test cases below:
Need help with output error as defined in test case 2

Test Case2:
Inventory Program Menu
1. ADD NEW Record
2. DISPLAY Record
3. MODIFY Record
4. EXIT Program
please enter selection (1 - 4) : 5
Please enter a valid choice (1 - 4): 4
Thank you!
