Tender Evaluation System

Course: Object-Oriented Programming in JAVA Lab (BCA39109) | Semester: BCA 3rd Sem

This project demonstrates how to use an Array of Objects in Java to manage and process multiple instances of a custom class. It evaluates a list of submitted business tenders and determines which company offered the lowest quotation.

🧠 Core OOP & Java Concepts Demonstrated

• Arrays of Objects: Declaring and initializing an array (Tender[]) to store exactly five distinct Tender object references, demonstrating how to handle multiple grouped objects efficiently.
• Encapsulation: The Tender class keeps its fields (quotation and companyName) private and exposes them safely via public getter methods (getQuotation(), getCompanyName()).
• Iterative Data Processing: Using standard for loops to both populate the array of objects sequentially and then traverse the array to calculate the minimum value.
