Address Book Challenge. I need your feedback.

I have managed to complete the address book challenge, and I think it works fine. The only thing I didn't know how to do is saving the entries for future use. Currently when I close the program every entrie is lost. When I open the program again, I have to add entries all over. Not quite useful address book.

I need your feedback on how I could have better factored my code.

As the comments say, "In order to save the address book for later you’ll need to write it to a file." Saving to a file and re-reading it in another session is often called "serialization". And they also say this is something you will learn in a different course.

So for what was covered in this particular course, good job! :+1:
