Learning-Chatbot

This project implements an interactive chatbot for an auto maintenance workshop. The chatbot is capable of answering common queries, learning new responses in real-time, and providing emergency contact information. It demonstrates various Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts including inheritance, polymorphism, composition, and templates.

Features

• Text-based user interface for interaction
• Predefined responses to common queries
• Real-time learning capability to add new responses
• File handling to store and retrieve learned responses
• Case-insensitive input handling

Key Features

1. Predefined Responses: Loads responses from a file.
2. Real-time Learning: Learns and saves new responses during runtime.
3. Inheritance and Polymorphism: Demonstrates class hierarchy and method overriding.
4. Composition: Integrates emergency services within the chatbot.
5. File Handling: Manages persistent storage of responses.

Project Structure

• Response: Template class for storing keyword-response pairs.
• Chatbot: Base class for the chatbot functionality.
• AutoMaintenanceChatbot: Derived class adding auto maintenance-specific functionalities.
• EmergencyService: Class for providing emergency contact information.
• WorkshopChatbot: Derived class integrating emergency services.

Files

• main.cpp: Main source file containing the implementation of the chatbot.
• MJ-details.txt: File containing predefined responses loaded by the chatbot.
