Assignment: Library Book Management System

Objective
Create a Java console application to manage a library system, where users can:

1. Add books with their titles and authors.


2. Display all books in the library.
3. Search for a book by title.
4. Count how many books are in the library.

Functional Requirements
1. Book Class (Book)

Create a Book class that represents a book with:

 Instance Variables:
o String title – stores the book’s title.
o String author – stores the book’s author.
 Constructor:
o Book(String title, String author) – initializes the book’s title and author.
 Method:
o void display() – prints the book details in "Title by Author" format.

2. Library Class (Library)

Create a Library class to manage books.

2.1. Fields:

 Book[] books – an array to store multiple Book objects.


 int count – tracks the number of books added.

2.2. Constructor:

 Library(int size) – initializes the books array with a specified size.

2.3. Methods:

✅ void addBook(String title, String author):

 Adds a new Book object to the array.


 Ensures books cannot be added if the array is full.

✅ void displayBooks():

 Prints a list of all books using the display() method.


✅ void searchBook(String title):

 Searches for a book by title (case-insensitive).


 If found, prints "Book found: Title by Author".
 If not found, prints "Book not found".

✅ int countBooks():

 Returns the total number of books in the library.

3. Main Class (Main)


Implement the main method to handle user interaction using Scanner.

3.1. Steps in Main Method:

1. Ask the user:


o "Enter the number of books the library can hold:"
o Store the input as int numBooks.
2. Create an instance of Library with numBooks as the array size.
3. Use a menu-driven loop (while loop) to let users:
o Add a new book.
o Display all books.
o Search for a book.
o Count books in the library.
o Exit the program.

Non-Functional Requirements
 ✅ The program should handle incorrect inputs (e.g., empty titles, duplicates).
 ✅ Use loops for the menu and input collection.
 ✅ Use arrays to store books.
 ✅ Follow OOP principles (encapsulation, modularity).
