TA Record Management System

Overview

Project Report .here.

The TA Record Management System is a C++ program designed to manage records of Teaching Assistants (TAs) in a department. The system allows for the filtering of invalid records, adding new TA records, and sorting the existing records based on various criteria.

Features

• Filtering Invalid Records: The system filters out records of TAs who have graduated (classified as "Alum") and removes them from the list.
• Adding New Records: Users can add new TA records to the system. The program ensures that no duplicate Student IDs are added.
• Sorting Records: The program allows users to sort TA records by different columns, such as Working Hours, Status, First Name, Student ID, and Department, in either ascending or descending order.

How to Run

1. Compile the Program:

   • Ensure that you have a C++ compiler installed.
   • Compile the code using your preferred C++ compiler. For example:

     g++ -std=c++11 main.cpp -o ta_record_management

2. Run the Program:

   • Execute the compiled binary:

     ./ta_record_management

3. Interact with the Program:

   • Follow the on-screen prompts to load TA records, filter them, add new records, or sort the existing records.
   • The program will guide you through each step and ensure that your inputs are valid.

Structure

• Main Program: Manages the flow of the application, including initializing data, handling errors, and directing user interaction.
• Filtering Invalid Records: Reads TA data from a file, removes invalid records, and saves the updated list.
• Adding New TAs: Prompts the user to input new TA details, ensuring data integrity and uniqueness.
• Sorting Records: Allows the user to sort TA records based on selected criteria and saves the sorted list.

Error Handling

The program includes robust error handling for:

• Invalid file names or paths.
• Duplicate Student IDs during the addition of new records.
• Invalid inputs for sorting or other operations.

Requirements

• A C++11 or later compiler.

Notes

• The program uses a simple text file to store and manage TA records. Ensure that the file is in the correct format as expected by the program.
• Make sure the file path and name are correctly provided when prompted.
