Program Summary MUST USE POINTERS AND LINKED LISTS!!!!

Write a C++ object-oriented program to manage a file system for students at Norfolk State University:

First Name string

Last Name string

Student ID unsigned integer

Email string

GPA - float

The program will manipulate the student list based on students from the file students.dat

Class requirements

Create a student class or struct based on the student structure

Create a students class which contains two private members a pointer to a list of students and a function to print a students record. The students class will also provide the following functionality.

Load data from a data file into a student list

Retrieve and print a student from the student list

Insert a student into the student list

Delete a student from the student list

Print the contents of a student record

Print the contents for a list of students

Sort the student list by last Name

Sort the student list by GPA

Processing requirements

Load the students file students.dat

Create a menu to carry out the given operations

Implement input validation to avoid erroneous program errors

Structure of the file

students.dat First Name, Last Name, Student ID, Email, GPA

Code I have so far:

using namespace std;

#include

struct student;

typedef student * studentptr;

struct studentType

{

int info;

studentType *link;

};

studentType *head, *tail;

struct student

{

string firstName;

string lastName;

unsigned int studentID;

string email;

float gpa;

studentptr next;

};

class studentsProc // Definition of class named studentsProc

{

public:

void loadList(studentptr & students); // Function that loads data from a data file into a student list

private:

student * students; // Pointer to the list of students

void printList() const; //Print the contents of the list

};

void loadList(studentptr & students)

{

ifstream infile;

infile.open("students.dat");

students = NULL; //head pointer points no where

student temp;

studentptr temp_ptr;

while (!infile.eof())

{

temp_ptr = new student;

infile >> temp_ptr->firstName >> temp_ptr->lastName >> temp_ptr->studentID >> temp_ptr->email >> temp_ptr->gpa;//place data in the node

temp_ptr->next = students;

students = temp_ptr;

}

infile.close();

}

int main()

{

studentsProc student1;

studentptr students;

loadList(students);

return 0;

}
