1.
LibraryItem Class
This class will represent a generic library item with common attributes such as title, author, and
itemID.
Code
public class LibraryItem {
private String title;
private String author;
private int itemID;
public LibraryItem(String title, String author, int itemID) {
this.title = title;
this.author = author;
this.itemID = itemID;
}
public String getTitle() {
return title;
}
public String getAuthor() {
return author;
}
public int getItemID() {
return itemID;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return "LibraryItem{" +
"title='" + title + '\'' +
", author='" + author + '\'' +
", itemID=" + itemID +
'}';
}
}
2. Generic Catalog Class
This class will store and manage library items using generics.
Code
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Optional;
public class GenericCatalog<T extends LibraryItem> {
private List<T> catalog;
public GenericCatalog() {
this.catalog = new ArrayList<>();
}
public void addItem(T item) {
catalog.add(item);
}
public void removeItem(int itemID) {
Optional<T> itemToRemove = catalog.stream().filter(item -> item.getItemID() ==
itemID).findFirst();
if (itemToRemove.isPresent()) {
catalog.remove(itemToRemove.get());
} else {
System.out.println("Item with ID " + itemID + " not found.");
}
}
public void displayCatalog() {
for (T item : catalog) {
System.out.println(item);
}
}
}
3. User Interface
A simple command-line interface to interact with the catalog.
Code
import java.util.Scanner;
public class LibraryCatalogApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
GenericCatalog<LibraryItem> catalog = new GenericCatalog<>();
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
while (true) {
System.out.println("Library Catalog Management");
System.out.println("1. Add Item");
System.out.println("2. Remove Item");
System.out.println("3. Display Catalog");
System.out.println("4. Exit");
System.out.print("Choose an option: ");
int choice = scanner.nextInt();
scanner.nextLine(); // consume newline
switch (choice) {
case 1:
System.out.print("Enter title: ");
String title = scanner.nextLine();
System.out.print("Enter author: ");
String author = scanner.nextLine();
System.out.print("Enter item ID: ");
int itemID = scanner.nextInt();
scanner.nextLine(); // consume newline
LibraryItem newItem = new LibraryItem(title, author, itemID);
catalog.addItem(newItem);
System.out.println("Item added successfully.");
break;
case 2:
System.out.print("Enter item ID to remove: ");
int removeID = scanner.nextInt();
scanner.nextLine(); // consume newline
catalog.removeItem(removeID);
break;
case 3:
catalog.displayCatalog();
break;
case 4:
System.out.println("Exiting...");
scanner.close();
System.exit(0);
break;
default:
System.out.println("Invalid option. Please try again.");
}
}
}
}
4. Testing
To test the functionality, I can run the LibraryCatalogApp class and interact with the catalog
through the command-line interface. Add various items, remove items, and display the catalog to
ensure everything works as expected.
Code
public class LibraryCatalogTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
GenericCatalog<LibraryItem> catalog = new GenericCatalog<>();
// Adding items
catalog.addItem(new LibraryItem("Book Title 1", "Author A", 101));
catalog.addItem(new LibraryItem("DVD Title 1", "Director B", 102));
catalog.addItem(new LibraryItem("Magazine Title 1", "Editor C", 103));
// Displaying catalog
System.out.println("Catalog after adding items:");
catalog.displayCatalog();
// Removing an item
catalog.removeItem(102);
// Displaying catalog after removal
System.out.println("Catalog after removing item with ID 102:");
catalog.displayCatalog();
// Trying to remove an item that doesn't exist
catalog.removeItem(999);
}
}
