Contact Book

The Python Contact Book Project provides an interactive console text-based application where users can store, retrieve, edit, and delete their contacts. User can store their contact's name, phone number, email, and address.

The primary data structure was a built-in Python dictionary, which was tasked with managing contact entries. This structure was chosen due to its efficiency in handling these particular operations (O(1) average complexity for add, delete, get operations).

Project Structure

The project consists of the following files and directories.

.
├── README.md
└── main.py

The project structure was designed to be simple and clean.

• README.md: this document providing project description and documentation
• main.py: the Python script that defines the ContactBook class which encapsulates the core functionalities of the application. the main script which interacts with the user and uses ContactBook class methods to provide the desired functionality

ContactBook Class

• The add_contact method allows for new entries to be made to the 'book'. Each entry must be unique by name.

• The edit_contact method permits updates to contact information.

• The view_contacts method lists all contacts in the address book along with their information.

• The delete_contact method allows for existing contacts to be removed from the book.
