This Library Management System is a Java-based console application designed to manage a collection of books. It supports basic library operations such as adding, deleting, listing, modifying, and searching for books, using Java's ArrayList for in-memory storage. All data is stored temporarily in memory, making it a lightweight solution without requiring a database.
- Add a Book: Allows users to add a new book to the library by specifying an ID, title, author, and publication year. The program prevents duplicate entries based on the book's ID.
- Delete a Book: Removes a book from the library based on the book's ID. The system confirms the deletion if the ID matches a book in the library.
- Modify Book Title:Enables users to update the title of an existing book by entering the book's ID and a new title. This is helpful for correcting or updating book information.
- List Books: Lists all books in the library, sorted by user preference (either by author, title, year, or ID). This feature provides a clear, organized view of the available books.
- Search for a Book: Allows users to search for a specific book by entering keywords related to the title, author, or publication year. The program returns a list of books that match the search criteria.
- Programming Language: Java
- Data Structure:
ArrayList(for managing books in memory)
- Data Persistence: Since this is a runtime application, all data is stored in memory and will be lost once the program ends.
- No Database: The application does not connect to any external database; it is designed as a lightweight, temporary solution.
