Experiment 1

TITLE: Dataset Creation and Updating using File Handling Program.

Objective: How to store and retrieve dataset in table format using
file handling programming.
Tasks to be carried out in LAB
1. Create a Record:

Add a new student record to the file. Ensure that the roll number is unique (no

duplicates).

2. Read Records:

Display all student records stored in the file in a tabular format. Allow

searching for a record by roll number.

3. Update a Record:

Update the details of a student by their roll number. Ensure the updated data is

saved in the file.

4. Delete a Record:

Delete a student record using their roll number. Ensure the file reflects the

changes after deletion.

5. Exit Program:

Provide an option to exit the program.
