For my data structure's class at Hunter College, I designed a task management application that keeps track of different types of tasks for the user. The application can track (4) different types of tasks:
A UI code module takes the necessary input from the user and passes it to a to-do list driver/application, which then converts the input into a new Task object. The task objects are then stored in a sorted task linked list, which allows the printing of the tasks in order of their deadline in O(N) time. The user has the option to "complete" a task, which removes it from the to-do list and stores it in a separate sorted linked list of completed tasks.
The application also provides the user with the option to save the current to-do list to disk, or load an existing list from the disk for use. In the future, I would love to take this code and integrate it into an app that can be downloaded and used by actual end-users.
The program is written in C++.
