To meet the evaluation criteria, let's expand on the implementation details:

1. Implementation of Generic Class:


- The generic catalog class (`Catalog<T>`) should be able to store information about library items of
any type `T`.
- Ensure that the catalog class is designed to seamlessly handle different types of items using
generics.
- Use appropriate data structures like lists or maps to store and manage the items in the catalog.

2. Implementation of Generic Methods:


- The generic `LibraryItem<T>` class should have attributes such as `title`, `author`, and `itemID`.
- Ensure that the `LibraryItem<T>` class is compatible with the generic catalog (`Catalog<T>`).
- Implement methods in the `LibraryItem<T>` class to manipulate item attributes as needed.

3. Library Operations:
- Develop methods within the generic catalog (`Catalog<T>`) to add a new library item, remove an
item, and retrieve item details.
- These methods should be generic and able to handle items of any type `T`.

4. Error Handling:
- Implement error handling to manage scenarios such as attempting to remove a non-existent item.
- Use try-catch blocks or custom exception classes to handle errors gracefully.
- Ensure that error messages are clear and informative, helping users understand what went wrong.

5. Logic and Computation:


- Implement logical and computational algorithms to perform library operations efficiently.
- Ensure that the code logic is correct and follows the requirements specified in the assignment.

6. Program Flow and Structure:


- Organize the program's flow and structure in a clear and coherent manner.
- Use appropriate class and method names that reflect their purpose and functionality.
- Ensure that the code is well-structured and easy to understand.
7. Output:
- Test the program thoroughly to ensure that it produces the expected output.
- Verify that the output of library operations matches the expected behavior specified in the
assignment.

8. Code Style and Readability:


- Follow Java coding conventions and best practices for writing clean and readable code.
- Use meaningful variable names, proper indentation, and consistent formatting throughout the code.
- Include comments and documentation where necessary to explain the purpose of classes, methods,
and complex logic.

By addressing these criteria, you can ensure that your implementation of the generic library catalog
meets the requirements and is evaluated positively. Remember to test your code thoroughly and make
any necessary revisions to ensure its correctness and effectiveness.

- Here's a Java implementation of the generic library catalog along with a simple command-line
interface (CLI) for user interaction. The code includes generic classes for the catalog and
library items, methods to add, remove, and retrieve items from the catalog, as well as error
handling for invalid operations.
This implementation demonstrates the use of generic classes and methods to create a flexible library
catalog system. The code includes error handling to manage scenarios such as attempting to remove a
non-existent item, and clear messages are displayed to inform the user of the outcome of each
operation.
