Challenge

Easy

Add the SEARCH command. Keep every command from the previous steps working exactly as before.

  • SEARCH <text>: the text may contain spaces. Reply with one line per book whose title contains the text, ignoring case, in order of book id: Dune (available) or Emma (borrowed by ada). With no match reply no matches.

The supplied code passes every input line to library.handle(_:) and prints each returned reply on its own line. Member names are single lower-case words, book ids are whole numbers, and the input holds only the commands described so far. Any other command replies unknown command.

Your code goes in Book.swift, Member.swift and Library.swift. main.swift holds the supplied input/output code and cannot be edited.

Try it yourself

// Supplied input/output code: keep it as it is
var input: [String] = []
while let line = readLine() { input.append(line) }
let library = Library()
for line in input {
    for reply in library.handle(line) { print(reply) }
}
