Bookstore Managment System

Project Objective

The aim of this project is to create a basic Bookstore Management System in Java. This project will help you understand Java's object-oriented programming concepts and give you hands-on experience with file handling in Java.

Create a class called Book with the following attributes:

• ISBN (String)

• Title (String)

• Author (String)

• Price (double)

• searchByISBN(String ISBN) : To search for a book using its ISBN

• displayBooks() : To display all the books in the list

• deleteByISBN(String ISBN) : To delete a book from the list using its ISBN

3. Main Program:

Create a Main class that contains the main method and handles the user interface.

• Menu-driven interface for the user with the following options:

  • Add Book

  • Search by ISBN

  • Display All Books

  • Delete by ISBN
