2. Feature: List all books

Display a list of all books in a tabular form in the console. If no books, print out “(empty)”.

Output format:

- Use "%-5s %-45s %-10s" for the heading

- Use "%5d %-45s %10.2f" for displaying Book details
- Print 2 digits after the decimal for the double datatype
- Refer to the sample output for the formatting specification

Sample output:
- Case: not empty
ID Name Price
1 Think big and Grow rich 10.95

B. Programing tasks

IMPORTANT: Strictly follow to the Object-Oriented specifications given in the problem

statement. All class names, attribute names, and method names should be the same as
specified in the problem statement.

Consider a Book class with the following attributes & methods

Attribute Datatype
id Integer
name String
price Double

Method Description
public Book(int id, String name, This constructor is to create a new Book object
double price) from provided book details
This setter updates this.name with provided
public void setName(String name)
value
This setter updates this.price with provided
public void setPrice(double price)
value
This method returns string representation of this
Book in the required format. Refer to the sample
public String toString()
outputs in Section A for the formatting
specification.

Consider the class BookManager and define the following attribute & methods

Attribute Datatype
books ArrayList<Book>

7|P a g e
 Method Description
This constructor initializes this.books as an
public BookManager()
empty list
public ArrayList<Book> getBooks() This getter returns all books managed by this
This method reads the file books.txt, parses the
public void loadFromFile() data in the file to Book objects and adds them to
this.books.
This method accepts a list of Book objects as
public void the argument and prints out the Book details in
printBooks(ArrayList<Book> books) required format by iterating the list. If the input
list books is empty, print “(empty)”
This method accepts a Book object as an input
argument and adds it to this.books if book.id
public boolean add(Book book)
is not duplicated, then returns whether added or
not
This method accepts an id of Book as input and
public Book getBookById(int id) returns the Book object from this.books with
the corresponding id.
This method accepts a Book object as the
public void remove(Book book)
argument and remove it from this.books.
This method modifies this.books to be sorted
public void sortDescByPrice()
in the descending order of price.
This method accepts a keyword string as
public List<Book> argument and returns the list of Book objects
searchByName(String keyword) whose name contains the keyword
(IMPORTANT: case-insensitive)
This method writes Book objects managed by
public void saveToFile() this into the file books.txt in the required
format.

Consider a program class called Main to show the menu, get user inputs, invoke appropriate
methods from other classes to carry out functionalities & print out suitable messages in the main
method. This method also prints out “Bye!” when user exit the program.

IMPORTANT: Use System.out for errors
