Design Problem: Student Record Management using Linked Lists

OBJECTIVE: The main objective of this assignment is to create a C program that manages student

records database by using linked lists of student structures; pointers for the link list and to access the

records; and functions to search for students, calculate class average and print the desired information.

Your program should be able to do the following:

Find a student record by ID $$ search the full database

Print all student records $$ You should have at least $5$ student records in your database

Calculate and display the class average final grade.

Display the number of students in the list.

Requirements $-$ Make sure to use structures, pointers, functions that use pointers to traverse the

students records that form the linked list, and give the user the choice to search a particular record by

matching the ID number or print out the full list of records. Additionally, you must give your user the

choice to calculate and display the class average and to display the number of students in the list.

Below is a description of what is expected:

a$)$ Student Record Structure $-$ Create a Student structure with the following fields:

First Name: A string to store the first name of the student.

Last Name: A string to store the last name of the student.

ID: An integer to store the student ID$.$

Final Grade: A float to store the final grade of the student.

A pointer to the next Student structure.

b$)$ Functions your program must have:

A function to search for a student by ID number $$ User provides an ID number and if

found, prints all the details on the student's record $($if not found, it prints a failed search

message$).$ After printing the information, the program should prompt the user by asking if

they want to know the class average and the number of students in the list.

A function to calculate and print the class average

A function to determine and print the number of students in the list $($count and print how

many student records are in the database by traversing the linked list$)$

A function to print the full database $$ prompt the user by asking if they prefer to see the

full list of records. This function will print all the student records in the linked list displaying

all the information for each, it will also print the class average and the number of students in

the list.

Main function $$ Create a menu to prompt the user to select within the following choices:

Find a student by ID

Print all student records
