CSV File Search Software

During this project I wanted to better understand the relationship between java and data manipulation and visualization.

Tools and Software:

In this software I wanted to better understand how to read and manipulate a CSV file using various tools in Java. This software is meant to read a CSV file, create a list of dictionaries that connects to individual pieces of information. The software will then prompt a user to search by certain criteria that will then display all rows that fit this information.

Development Environment:

During this project I used Java as my primary language and devloped the code in Visual Studio Code. I used the java io and java util libraries that encapsulate numerous libraries within them. I used Hashtables and Lists as my primary type of objects.

Useful Websites for learning the basics of Java are listed below:

• https://www.w3schools.com/java/
• https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/

Future Work:

In the future there are multiple feature I would like to implement:

1. Using a logarithmic search algorithm for names to improve efficiency.
2. Clean up displayed information to improve readability.
3. Allow for adjusting multiple features at a time.
4. Format data for better legibility.
