Introduction
Auction project is an auction-based command line project. It is coded in python programming. Auction project is a representation of how an auction works.
Auction project is using Python 3.8 version. An auction is a system of buying and selling assets where potential buyers place competitive bids on assets and services The buyer who bids highest price for assets can only buy. This is a system where a low price asset can be sold on higher prices. Auction project is based on this auction where bidding takes place. It executes in command line.
When you execute this project, you will see an asci art and some text. You are asked to enter your name and price first. After you enter the price, the system will ask again for another bidder. If there is another bidder who says yes, then he will bid higher price than the previous and if no the highest bidder takes the assets. This project is a beginner level project and does not works in the real world. See the screenshot below.
