Deadline

The deadline for Assignment 3 is Wednesday, 20th September, 2023, at 12:00 p.m.

We will check the last commit of the lab assignment repository, so you do not need to submit the repository link separately.

Bonus

You will gain bonus points for this assignment if you implement the following feature.

• Add a message "You have saved X items in this application" (with X being the number of data items stored in the application) and display it above the data table. The sentence can be customized to match the application's theme but must convey the same meaning.
