The application should be able to add address, view address,view address of all persons and lastly delete an address of an individual..
All other functions are working properly but the application cannot delete an address please Asssit...Whea shud i implement the delete method??

Can you explain why you posted 850+ lines of code?

The application is required to Add an addresss, view an address, delete address. How do i implement a delete function and where?? All other functionalities are working..please assit

800 lines are too many for me. Can you make a smaller program (<200 lines) that shows the problem?
