Background:
Each semester students spend a lot of time trying to find
the cheapest price books. In the end, many students end up paying more than
necessary for their books. While BYU does offer several different options on
their website of places to buy books, they are not always the most cost
effective options. Finding the best prices often requires a lot of time. This
project saves BYU students time and money by retrieving their book list off of
RouteY and comparing prices from the BYU Bookstore and www.textbookpricecomparison.com.
Overview:
My solution looks each book up by its ISBN number and
returns the price from BYU’s Bookstore and the three cheapest options from
textbookpricecomparison.com. This project retrieves the price for new and used
books as well as the price to rent books. This information is then organized in
a table that includes the information about the book and the various prices.
The cheapest option for each type of book is highlighted in yellow.
