Question

1) User wants to keep track Books. Each Book has Author (String), Title (String), Year (4 digit String) and Price (Double). Write a Java Book class with constructors and set/get methods.

2) Write a Java program that asks user to enter the Book data on the Console. User can enter any number of books until terminated on the Console. Write the book data to a text file called "book.txt" in the current project directory.

3) Write a Java program to read the "books.txt" file and display the book data contained in it on the Console with each field displayed in column, one line per book.

Please only code it exactly how it asks, nothing fancy. thank you

Answer- 1

User wants to keep track Books. Each Book has Author (String), Title (String), Year (4 digit String) and Price (Double). Write a Java Book class with constructors and set/get methods.

here we are creating java class named as Book.java which code is given as below:

public class Book {
// these are the four field we required as book data  
private String Author;
private String Title;
private String Year;
private double Price;
// getter setter for the above variables
public String getAuthor() {
   return Author;
}

public void setAuthor(String author) {
   Author = author;
}

public String getTitle() {
   return Title;
}

public void setTitle(String title) {
   Title = title;
}

public String getYear() {
   return Year;
}

public void setYear(String year) {
   Year = year;
}

public double getPrice() {
   return Price;
}

public void setPrice(double price) {
   Price = price;
}
// constructor of Book class to initialize the value of book variables
Book(String Author, String Title, String Year, double Price)
{
   this.Author=Author;
   this.Title=Title;
   this.Year=Year;
   this.Price=Price;
}
}

Answer-2

Write a Java program that asks user to enter the Book data on the Console. User can enter any number of books until terminated on the Console. Write the book data to a text file called "book.txt" in the current project directory.

for this we will write a BookEntry.java class in which we will take input from user and write every content in file (book.txt) and when user enter ctrl-z we will stop taking input from user .

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.Reader;

public class BookEntry {

   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

       Reader r = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
       BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(r);
       String str = null;

       try {
       //prompt the user to input data
       System.out.println("enter author title year price of each book and press enter then hit ctrl-z");
       PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter("book.txt", "UTF-8");
       while((str = br.readLine())!=null)
       {
       //save the line

       writer.println(str);
       }
       writer.close();

       } catch (IOException e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
       }
   }
}
output console:

enter author title year price of each book and press enter then hit ctrl-z
maddy bookA 1996 220
muskan bookB 1997 254
data added to text file successfully

Answer 3-

Write a Java program to read the "books.txt" file and display the book data contained in it on the Console with each field displayed in column, one line per book.

now in this we write BookDetails.java file and display the book data from book.txt file to console in column.

package cmsnew;
import java.io.*;
public class BookDetails {

   public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
       // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  
String line = null;
System.out.println("the book details are:");
/* FileReader reads text files in the default encoding */
FileReader fileReader = new FileReader("book.txt");
  
/* always wrap the FileReader in BufferedReader */
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
  
while((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null)
{
System.out.println(line);
}
  
/* always close the file after use */
bufferedReader.close();
}
   }

output:

the book details are:
maddy bookA 1996 220
muskan bookB 1997 254

thanks!!
