    <p>I've this question from an assignment to create a Store which rent out books, using a Store.java and Book.java. I've finished this assignment, but I'm curious for better algorithm to a specific part.</p> <p>--</p> <p><strong>Book.java</strong></p> <pre><code>public class Book { private String name; Book(String name) this.name = name; public String getName() return name; } </code></pre> <p><strong>Store.java</strong></p> <p>Inside main();</p> <pre><code> Book bookObj[] = new Book[3]; //Create 3 Array of Object. bookObj[0] = new Book("Game Over"); bookObj[1] = new Book("Shrek"); bookObj[2] = new Book("Ghost"); Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in) input = console.nextLine(); </code></pre> <p>Assuming, input = Devil.</p> <p>Now, I need to do a simple search to check whether the specific book exist.</p> <p>Example:</p> <pre><code> for(int i = 0; i &lt; bookObj.length; i++) { if(bookObj[i].getName().equals(input)) System.out.println("Book Found!"); } </code></pre> <p>Apparently, this is a for loop that cycles through the array of object and checks whether such Book exist. Now, the problem arise when I want to give an output that the Book was not found.</p> <p>Example:</p> <pre><code> for(int i = 0; i &lt; bookObj.length; i++) { if(bookObj[i].getName().equals(input)) System.out.println("Book Found!"); else System.out.println("Book not Found!"); } </code></pre> <p>The problem with the above code is that Book not Found would be printed thrice. My goal is to avoid such problem. I do have solutions to this, but I'm still in search for a better one to use that utilizes getName(), which in my opinion still has room to improve.</p> <p>Usually, in structural programming, I would do the following,</p> <pre><code>for(int i = 0; i &lt; bookObj.length; i++) { if(bookObj[i].getName().equals(input)) System.out.println("Book Found!"); else if(i == bookObj.length - 1) System.out.println("Book not Found!"); } </code></pre> <p>This is useful to tell whether it's the end of the loop, and the search has ended, but there was no successful result from the search.</p> <p>How should I think of it in Object Oriented way?</p> <p>All in all, my question is,</p> <ol> <li>Is there a better way to write the above code rather than checking that it's the end of the line?</li> <li>Is there a better way to utilize getName() method or to use other methods?</li> </ol>

    1. COFirst this: Are you allowed to use [Collections framework](http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/collections/index.html) instead of arrays? There's lot of room for improvement, but with homework you're usually restricted to what you've *actually* learnt. And since that's unclear ...

    2. COThank you for the big tip, but unfortunately, I'm tied to use an array of object for this assignment.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
