Student Data Management in C++

Last Updated : 24 Nov, 2022

Databases are being used in every aspect of our lives right now. Trillions
of bytes of data are being stored in servers around the world. SQL is
one of the most basic methods to use such a database. But have you
ever thought about using C++ to maintain such a database. In this post,
we will talk about implementing different views on a text file according
to the type of user and edit accordingly.

The data stored using this code are:

1) Registration number
2) Name
3) Marks in CSE1001
4) Marks in CSE1002
5) Proctor ID

Following code is a simple implementation of Student Management

Project written in C++

#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

Do note that I have set the pointer position according to the length of
the data I am entering in the text file. Some of the things which I had
assumed are the registration number is always 9 characters long,
subject code is either CSE1001/CSE1002, proctor ID is 4 characters
long, marks is just 2 characters long. You would need to change the
code accordingly if you want to enter some other type of data.
