Question

Some of the characteristics of a book are the title, author(s), publisher, ISBN, price, and year of publication. Design a class Book that defines the book as an ADT. i. Each object of the class Book can hold the following information about a book: title, up to four authors, publisher, ISBN, price, year of publication, and number of copies in stock. To keep track of the number of authors, add another instance variable. ii. Include the methods to perform various operations on objects of Book. For example, the usual operations that can be performed on the title are to show the title, set the title, and check whether a title is the actual title of the book. Similarly, the typical operations that can be performed on the number of copies in stock are to show the number of copies in stock, set the number of copies in stock, update the number of copies in stock, and return the number of copies in stock. Add similar operations for the publisher, ISBN, book price, and authors. Add the appropriate constructors. b. Write the definitions of the methods the class Book. c. Write a program that uses the class Book and tests various operations on the objects of the class Book. Declare an array of 100 components of type Book. Some of the operations that you should perform are to search for a book by its title, search by ISBN, and update the number of copies of a book.
