command-line phonebook using a dictionary

[DDCane]

i need to make a dictionary that works as a telephone book.
this is what needs to happen when i type in the following:

add name number – it adds the name and number to the phonebook
lookup name – returns the number for the given name
alias name newname – lets u look up the number by typing the name or the alias "newname".
change name number – changes the number that is connected to the given name
quit – shuts down the the interactive use of the dictionary

thanks guys!

That sounds a lot like your Votes using dictionary problem, which I never hear was any use to you. Start with that and post what you have come up with. You've come a long way in just a few days and I don't think that it's asking too much to ask you to follow the Posting Guidelines.

Here's a hint: Phone numbers should be stored as strings, not numeric values.

The voting worked perfect. it was exactly what i needed.
the only reason im asking alot is cuz i have a dead line next week and i got alot to get done that is kinda hard for me.

That's OK. But this is help forum, not a do-your-work-for-you site.
So, please, post some sort of start so that we can help you get it going.
