Add customer details. b. Delete customer details. ----------------- i will have to use arrays and records right ? adding customer details is easy. but deleting, im not sure about. Do i just replace record for that customer with null statements / space character / junk (anything that gets rid of the details) or would i have to actually get rid of that element in the array ?
