Array of Objects

Array of Objects
Objectives
basic operations supported by an array.
 print all the array elements(objects)
 Adds an object at the given index.
 Deletes an object at the given index.
 Searches an object using the given index or by
the value.
 Updates an object at the given index.
Case study
Problem: A antique
 shop that sells antique items, namely vases, statues, and
paintings. The owner can add item to inventory. The shop will keep items in the
list. The owner can add a new item to it, he search also the item,….
=>For now, we want to manage the list of objects such as vases, statues,
paintings in an array.
