Question: Library Book Management

Problem Statement

You are tasked with developing a simple program to manage books in a small library. The library needs to keep track of its books, allowing the librarian to perform the following actions:

1. Add a new book to the collection.
2. Display the details of all books in the collection.
3. Search for a book by its title.

Each book has the following attributes:

• Title
• Author
• ISBN (International Standard Book Number)
• Published Year

Requirements

1. Add a Book:

   • Prompt the user to enter the details of a new book.
   • Store the book in a list.

2. Display Books:

   • Display the details of all books in the collection.

3. Search a Book:

   • Prompt the user to enter the title of the book they want to search for.
   • Display the details of the book if found; otherwise, display a message saying the book is not found.

Constraints

• Use only basic Java constructs: classes, methods, arrays (or ArrayList), loops, and basic input/output.
