public class ItemTracking

extends java.lang.Object

This item tracking program reads in a number of library items where each item description contains a call number, item cost, usage value, item type, and an availability value. The usage value is how often the item is used. The availability value is dependent on the type of the library item. The output is two sorted lists: the first is a list of items currently in the library or on-loan, but not lost and the second is a sorted list of missing library items, the replacement cost of the item to the library; and the overall cost of the missing items.
