Question

Write a program that uses two structures Name and Student to store the following information for multiple students:

  1. Create a nameType structure that consists of
    • First Name,
    • Middle Initial, and
    • Last Name
  2. Create a studentType structure that contains student information (Include the nameType structure within the Student information structure):
    • Name
    • ID
    • email
    • GPA
    • Program (an enum type named programType containing programs such as CSCI, DBMS, INFM, SDEV)

Suppose that a class has at most 20 students. Use an array of 20 components of type studentType. You will read in the names, id, and email from classroster.txt  Download classroster.txt.  The first line of the file will tell you how many students are in the class.  To get the the GPA and program for each student you will need to read from studentlist.txt  Download studentlist.txt. The second file will have the id, program, and GPA for all of the students in the department.  That means that not every student from studentlist.txt will be in classroster.txt. You will need to only add GPA and program for the students in the class. 

Your program must contain at least the following functions (the function prototypes are provided in the starter code):

  1. A function to read the students’ data into the array.

    • This function will open classroster.txt.
    • The file is in the format first name, middle initial, last name, student id, email 
  2. A function to assign the relevant program and GPA to each student.

    • This function will open studentlist.txt.
    • You will have to search the student array to find the student from the file and assign their program and GPA.
    • If a student from the file is not found in the array skip it and go to the next student in the file.
    • Programs are encoded as single character codes C = CSCI, S = SDEV, D = DBMS, I = INFM
  3. A function to find a student by id in the array.
    • This function should do a search on the array and return the position of the student with a matching student id, or -1 if the student is not in the array.
  4. A function to find the highest GPA.

  5. A function to print the names of the students having the highest GPA.
