- Added ANSI color constants for visually distinct feedback.
- Used ASCII-art borders for headers.
- Included trend emojis (📉, 📈) and pointer (👉) for better interactivity and aesthetics.
- Replaced Windows-specific `system("pause")` with cross-platform standard input waits (`cin.ignore()`, `cin.get()`).
