I'm trying to make a library where you can add books, search for books etc, I have a hardcoded book that you should be able to search for but it only displays the after I add a new book and then it will display the hardcoded book if you search for it again
the code
any help at all would be appreciated , thanks.
the code
Code:
public class Book
{
public String BookName { get; set; }
public String AuthorName { get; set; }
public int NumberOfCopiesInStock { get; set; }
public String ISBN { get; set; }
public Book(String bookName, String authorName, int numberOfCopiesInStock, String isbn)
{
this.BookName = bookName;
this.AuthorName = authorName;
this.NumberOfCopiesInStock = numberOfCopiesInStock;
this.ISBN = isbn;
}
public override String ToString()
{
return ("BookName: " + BookName
+ "\n"
+ "Author Name: " + AuthorName
+ "\n"
+ "Number Of Copies: " + NumberOfCopiesInStock
+ "\n"
+ "ISBN: " + ISBN);
}
}
Code:
public class Search
{
public Boolean SearchForBook()
{
Console.WriteLine("Please enter name of book: ");
String search = Console.ReadLine();
UserInput.MakeTheComputerSleep();
foreach (Book b in UserInput.bookList)

{
Console.WriteLine(b);
return true;
}
}
Console.WriteLine("Book doesn't exist! ");
return false;
