Code of Library Management System
Write the code for the designed classes in different languages.
We’ve gone over the different aspects of the library management system and observed the attributes attached to the problem using various UML diagrams. Let us now explore the more practical side of things, where we will work on implementing the library management system using multiple languages. This is usually the last step in an object-oriented design interview process.
We have chosen the following languages to write the skeleton code of the different classes present in the library management system:
Java
C#
Python
C++
JavaScript

Library management
This section will provide the skeleton code of the classes designed in the class diagram lesson.
Note: For simplicity, we are not defining getter and setter functions. The reader can assume that all class attributes are private, accessed through their respective public getter methods, and modified only through their public method functions.
Enumerations
First, we will define all the enumerations required in the library management system. According to the class diagram, four enumerations are used in the system: BookFormat, BookStatus, ReservationStatus, and AccountStatus. The code to implement these enumerations is as follows:`
Note: JavaScript does not support enumerations, so we will use the
Object.freeze()method as an alternative that freezes an object and prevents further modifications.
