HW1: Book Search

The 2-dim book array in the book list should be put in SearchBook.java. You won't get full credit if you put the array in Book.java
Book.java is supposed to be a standalone class, it shouldn't has any interaction with SearchBook.java
You can get some hints here.

In this homework you will write 2 classes Book and SearchBook
The class Book represent a book in real life, it contains the title and the author of the book.
It contains only 3 public methods and some public constructors.

boolean doesTitleContain(String word)
This method returns true if the title contains the word, otherwise return false. The method is not case sensitive. i.e.
we don't distinguish between words like "abc" and "ABC".
Example if the book is Java Notes written by Charles Li.
then doesTitleContain("java") returns true because Java Notes contains the word "java".
doesTitleContain("no") also returns true because the title Java Notes contains the word. "no"

boolean doesAuthorContain(String word)
This method returns true it the author contains the word, otherwise returns false. The method is not case sensitive. i.e.
we don't distinguish between words like "abc" and "ABC"
Example if the book is Java Notes written by Charles Li.
then doesAuthorContain("le") return true (Charles Li).
doesAuthorContain("charles") also returns true.



 String showInfo()

Show information about the book, for example if the book is Java Notes by Charles Li, the showInfo() returns a string like this
Title : Java Notes
Author : Charles Li
showInfo() return String ! Don't use System.out.println(...)

In the class SearchBook, it has a main function so that
java SearchBook Charles
gives all the books whose title or author contains the word "Charles".
The list of books is found in booklist.

Submit your work (Book.java, SearchBook.java ) to submit folder.
