Library Management System Using Switch Statement in Java

Here we are supposed to design and implement a simple library management system using a switch statement in Java, where have operated the following operations Add a new book, Check Out a book, display specific book status, search specific book, and display book details using different classes.

Menu for Library Management

Here is the list set of options that we will be creating that are as follows:

Exit Application
Add a New Book
Upgrade Quantity of a Book
Search a Book
Show All Books
Register Student
Show All Registered Students
Check Out Book
Check-In Book

Implementation:

We will be creating 5 files including our application(main) class responsible for the execution of our mini-project listed as follows:

Library
Students
Student
books
book

Note: As per naming conventions in java, it is good practice to have class initial with uppercase letter still here we are adhering with lowercase for better understanding of the code.
