Create an application to keep track of a list of students and their grades in a data structures course using a linked list. You should use the C++ STL library. You need to create a class called student that contains 2 data members: name and grade and then create a linked list of objects of this class. The application should allow the user to add a student, remove a student, update the grade for a student, and search for a student. The class should have a constructor with two parameters with only the grade as optional.   Remember, a user must provide the student's name in order to create an object of that class. Add validation code for the grade to make sure the grade is only A-F or '?' (grade is unknown or course is still in progress).  Put all validation code in one function.  Avoid redundancy.   Overload the equality operator (==) --  use the string class member function compare to compare strings.  Two objects of the student class are equal if the students' names are equal. Make sure to test the class. Please separate each file in your answer so it can be understood well.

Create an application to keep track of a list of students and their grades in a data structures course using a linked list. You should use the C++ STL library. You need to create a class called student that contains 2 data members: name and grade and then create a linked list of objects of this class. The application should allow the user to add a student, remove a student, update the grade for a student, and search for a student.

  • The class should have a constructor with two parameters with only the grade as optional.   Remember, a user must provide the student's name in order to create an object of that class.
  • Add validation code for the grade to make sure the grade is only A-F or '?' (grade is unknown or course is still in progress).  Put all validation code in one function.  Avoid redundancy.  
  • Overload the equality operator (==) --  use the string class member function compare to compare strings.  Two objects of the student class are equal if the students' names are equal.
  • Make sure to test the class.
