Library Management System using Linked List

Problem: Create a library management system using a linked list that can perform the

following operations:

Insert book record

Delete book record

Update book record

Show details of a book

Search for a book

BookRecord Details:

Title of the Book

Author of the Book

ISBN $($International Standard Book Number$)$

Genre

Number of Copies Available

Shelf Number

Approach:

Insert book record: Create a new node with book details and insert it into the

linked list.

Delete Record: Delete Record is similar to deleting a key from a linked list. Here

the key is the ISBN number. Delete record is an integer returning function it returns

$-1$ if no such record with a given roll number is found otherwise it deletes the node

with the given key and returns $0.$

Update book record: To update relevant fields of the book's node, such as author,

genre, or number of copies.

Show details of a book: Display all elements of the linked list by showing the

record, similar to printing all elements of the linked list.

Search Record: Search a Record is similar to searching for a key in the linked list;

in this case, the book record's key is the unique ISBN number for every book.

Recommendations:

Using ISBN as a key: Ensure that ISBN is used as a unique identifier for each

book to prevent duplicates.

Inserting records in sorted order: Implement a method to insert new books in

sorted order based on ISBN or title. This will make searching and updating

records more efficient.
