Hi everyone :) :) I have a question I hope you Guys can help with....

i am taking this computer programming class and my friend told me if I post a queston here I can get some help....

Well I am supposed to make java program that makes a menu with 4 options F Find an existing product, C Create new product D display all records and Q quit..

So anyway We are supposed to make 1 fixed length string with 30 charachter "product name", 1 "int" for "quantity and 1 "double" for "price. all those are supposed to be a fixed 72 bytes??

Ok so the C should let you create a new product name and put it into the .dat file, F lets you do a "linear search" ?? using the product name and D should "print i" the entire file to the console.

I know this is a long on but I just Dont know where to start and if you guys can help i'd be soo happy :)) :)) thanks in advance!!!

Break the problem down into its component requirements. Try solving each part separately in isolation. Once you have that, you can start bring the individual parts together to form a larger solution. When stuck, check the Java Tutorials – MadProgrammer Apr 18 at 21:54
