I need help with this

[RogerGarnier]

Develop a Java program to manage a mailing list for contributors to a charity. Your program should have the following commands available from a menu:-

Add Add a new contributor to the mailing list.
Sort Sort the names of the contributors into alphabetic order.
Delete Delete a contributor, and all associated information, from the mailing list.
Display display a contributor, according to their name, and display all of the data associated with the contributor.
Total Add up all of the contributions given to the charity provided by the mailing list contributors and display the total.

The java program also has two functions:

a) For each contributor, store their name, address, postcode, telephone number and the amount contributed into a text file of records.

b) Read the text file and display all the information.

please a omment if possible.

First step, plan it out on paper.

What features you need and what logical placement you need for each one.

As a suggestion, it might be better if you put up what you've got and maybe someone might help you debug your code, if you are having problems with it. That way we dont have to do your coursework and you still get to learn it.

Great java resources: http://academics.tjhsst.edu/compsci/java/packets.zip
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/TOC.html
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/

The last one is the best book I have ever come across.
I have recently completed AP Computer Science (and got a 3 on the exam) and I lived off these resources (especially the last one). The first link is lab packets that I used in Basic CS. Aside from the labs, there is a great amount of information for beginning programmers.
Hint: For the sorting, use HeapSort (I don't know what class you're in but if you're in basic CS this will impress your instructor). If you don't know what this is, google it.

Or use a treemap. Once again, if u dunno what this is, google it.
