i have this program and i'm already done with the data entry, search, display and exit menu.. my only problem is my search and delete and the search and edit...please help me. i've attached my unfinished program here:

Programming Assignment:
Write a program to simulate a telephone directory. The user should be able choose between the following modules:
a. Data Entry
b. Search for a Record
c. Search and Edit a Record
d. Search and Delete a Record
e. Display all Records
f. Exit from the program
- Create your own structure for the telephone directory (choose your fields). Limit your fields to 5.
- Search a record by letting the user enter the last name of the person in the directory. The user should be able to search for a name in any case (lower- or uppercase). This means that BAUTISTA and Bautista are the same. If there are two or more records with the same last name, show all of them.
- When deleting records in the first or middle locations, the components in the array should be moved backwards.
- Display all the records in tabular form
