Description
Problem Overview:
In this project, you can do the operations like add a new contact of a person with their name (first name
and last name), phone number, address and email. Listing all the contacts which are stored in the
contact file. You can also edit any contact’s name, mobile number, address and also delete any account
you want.
The structure of the file could be like below where the first line represents the name of each field.
Scenario:
1. The program must ask users to enter the name of the contact file
2. The program must raise an error if the file doesn’t exist
3. Then the program must raise a message showing the available operations like the following
screen:
4. The program then prints the result of the operation and return back to the list.
For the first service, the program must validate the input data. For example, the phone number must
contain only numbers with length of 9 or 10 numbers, the email address must contain @ symbol, and
the contact info must at least contain first name and phone number.
For the second service, the program will let the user list the contacts based on the first name or on the
last name. Also, show only the needed fields.
For the third service, the user can search using any field (e.g. aziz) or part of field (e.g. birzeit.edu) or
combination of field (aziz qaroush)
For the forth service, the user can edit any field and save the updated field.
