In Memory CD Database

**Laxman2809** · October 6th, 2011, 03:56 PM

Alright so like the title says I am creating an In memory CD database that has to have the abilities to add find remove and display information about the cds. So far I have been able to accomplish the adding and the finding but am having trouble doing remove and display. I am stuck and can't seem to get it to remove or display.

On a side not I would love it if someone could explain what this little bit of code means,

public void find (String search){
		boolean found = false;
		for (MusicCD cds : numofcd ) {          		        
			if (search.equals(cds.getCD())) {    
				found = true;
				System.out.println("Your search was found ");
				break;
			}
			else{
				System.out.println("Your search could not be found try again ");
			}
		}

I found the base for it on the internet and then tweaked it so that it could fit my code but don't know what it means.

Here is the code for my program.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class TestMusicDB {
 
	/**

	 * @Version 1.0

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		System.out.println("Music Database");
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		String in;
		MusicDB mydb= new MusicDB();
 
		while(true){
			System.out.println("Welcome to your personal music database.  " +
					"The legal commands are \nq for quit\nd for display\nf for find\na for add\nr for remove");
			System.out.println("What is your command");
			in=input.nextLine();
			in.toLowerCase();
			if (in.equals("d")){
				mydb.display();
			}
 
			else if(in.equals("f")){
				System.out.println("Please enter the title of the CD you would like to search for: ");

		}

It's a method called 'find' which takes the String argument 'search'
This method would be called like so: find("bob marley");

It sets the boolean(true/false) variable 'found' to false.

Then it loops through the list of CDs and if it matches the String 'search' it sets the 'found' variable to true and prints out "Your search was found" in the console.

break; stops the loop.

else (It if doesn't find the String), it prints "Your search could not be found try again" to the console.

Ok thank you for that explanations, but now I have an issue with my code. My remove function doesn't see to be working. Now I think it has to do with the fact it is not setting that CDs information back to empty or 0. Also it only stores 1 cd informations, even if i enter a second 1 cd with different information.

Also another issue seems to be that it after I enter 1 CD it only stores that information
