Step 2: Running the Library Management System

  1. Open your terminal (or command prompt).
  2. Navigate to the directory where you saved library_management.py.
  3. Run the script using the command:bashCopy codepython library_management.py

How It Works

  • Book Class: Represents a book with attributes for title, author, ISBN, and whether it is borrowed.
  • Library Class: Manages a list of books, including adding books, viewing available books, borrowing, and returning books.
  • User Interaction: The command-line interface allows users to choose actions like adding a book, viewing the library, borrowing a book, or returning a book.

Example Usage

  1. Add Book: Choose option 1 and enter the book title, author, and ISBN to add a new book.
  2. View Books: Choose option 2 to see all available books in the library.
  3. Borrow Book: Choose option 3 and enter the ISBN of the book you want to borrow.
  4. Return Book: Choose option 4 and enter the ISBN of the book you want to return.
  5. Exit: Choose option 5 to exit the system.
