AddressBook class lab assignment

AddressBook class

• The objective of this assignment will be to design and implement an address book
• Your address book will allow you to add, remove, and search for contacts
• The first version of our address book will use a Contact array, but future versions of AddressBook will not

Attributes

• a Contact array
• a size variable to keep track of the size
• a MAX_SIZE variable to set the maximum size

Constructors

• a default constructor
  • assign MAX_SIZE to 20
  • assign the Contact array to a new Contact array of MAX_SIZE elements
  • set the size variable to 0

Methods

• getter methods for the attributes
• setter methods for the attributes (do NOT make a setter for MAX_SIZE)
• boolean add(Contact newContact)
  • check if the current size of the AddressBook is still less than the maximum size
    • return false if the AddressBook is full
  • insert the new Contact in the next free element at the end of the contacts array
  • increment size
  • return true if the new Contact was successfully added
• void print()
  • traverse the Contact array and print out the entire AddressBook
• Contact find(String fn, String ln)
  • traverse the Contact array and find the Contact with the matching first name and last name
  • return the Contact with the matching first name and last name
  • return null if the Contact is not found

AddressBook Main

• Create a new file named AddressBookMain
• Create a new main method to test your AddressBook
• Your AddressBook demo should use a menu system you create
  • When the user selects to ADD a Contact, you should prompt them for a first name, last name, phone, and address.
  • You should then create a new Contact
  • Add the Contact to your AddressBook using the AddressBook's add() method
• The PRINT menu choice should print the entire AddressBook using the print() method
• Make sure your menu runs again after the user makes a choice (HINT: use a loop somewhere)
