   /*
      Where callBack is the method which have the output array of object as argument, and you can do 
      anything you like inside the function with the array

      "showProgressInConsole" is a configuration variable which holds "false" value 
      by default. If it is false or nothing then their will be nothing in console in the runtime of the program.
