Chapter 18, Problem 6PP

Solution to Programming Project 18.6

In this project you are to create a database of books that are stored using a vector. Keep track of the author, title, and publication date of each book. Your program should have a main menu that allows the user to select from the following: (1) Add a book’s author, title, and date; (2) Print an alphabetical list of the books sorted by author; and (3) Quit. You must use a class to hold the data for each book. This class must hold three string fields: one to hold the author’s name, one for the publication date, and another to hold the book’s title. Store the entire database of books in a vector in which each vector element is a book class object. To sort the data, use the generic sort function from the <algorithm> library. Note that this requires you to define the < operator to compare two objects of type Book so that the author field from the two books are compared. A sample of the input/output behavior might look as follows. Your I/O need not look identical, this is just to give you an idea of the functionality.

1. Add new book
