Experiment 1
TITLE: Dataset Creation and Updating using File Handling Program.
Objective: How to store and retrieve dataset in table format using
file handling programming.
Tasks to be carried out in LAB
1. Create a Record:
Add a new student record to the file. Ensure that the roll number is unique (no
duplicates).
2. Read Records:
Display all student records stored in the file in a tabular format. Allow
searching for a record by roll number.
3. Update a Record:
Update the details of a student by their roll number. Ensure the updated data is
saved in the file.
4. Delete a Record:
Delete a student record using their roll number. Ensure the file reflects the
changes after deletion.
5. Exit Program:
Provide an option to exit the program.
