Project 3 - Due Thursday, July 25th before midnight.
In this project you will write a contact list program. Many of you will find this assignment challenging so start early and ask lots of questions.
Your program will store entries consisting of:
Person's Name
Telephone Number
Home Address
Email Address
Your address book program will allow the user to do four things with the entries:
1) Add an entry to the contact list.
2) Retrieve an entry from the contact list by name.
3) Print all entries in the contact list.
4) Erase an entry in the contact list by name.
Your address book should not place a fixed limit on the number of entries it can hold. You will have to use dynamic arrays to accomplish this. Whenever the array you are using runs out of space allocate a new one that is twice as large. Then copy the data from the old array into the new one and delete the old array.
Use pointers to keep track of the entries, which will themselves be arrays of pointers to character arrays.
You may handle deletion of an entry in the contact list by replacing the name of the contact with _deleted_.
You will need to write a function that can search your entries by name for the display by name and delete by name functions. This search function should return a pointer to the arrays containing the information to be deleted or displayed and ignore "deleted" entries.
The maximum length of the Person's Name, telephone number, and address may be fixed.
