Student Report System – User Guide

1. Overview
The Student Report System is a console application. Interactions with the program are via a menu
system and simple commands. Messages generated by the application also appear in the same
console.

This application requires a text file to be copied to your file system. The file is called
“studentdata.txt” and needs to be located in the directory “C:/Temp”.

The application reads the text file. Extracting the following student information:

 Student first name


 Student last name
 Student Math marks for assignment 1 to 3
 Student English marks for assignment 1 to 3

Each student also has a Student ID. Which is unique and is a whole number from 0 to 100000. This
Student ID ensures there are no duplicates in the database and allows students to be removed and
added to a student database.

from the text file.
