Student Record Management System

This project is a simple C-based Student Record Management System that allows users to add and manage student data, such as ID, name, class, and mobile number. The data is stored in a file (record.txt) to retain the records across sessions.

Features

• Add a new student record with details like ID, name, class, and mobile number.
• Store data in a text file (record.txt) for persistence.

Contributing

Suggested Improvements

1. Error Handling: Enhance error handling across functions, especially in fopen and fclose, to ensure robust file management.
2. Memory Safety: Improve string handling in functions using fgets to prevent buffer overflow risks.
3. Unimplemented Functionality: Implement the deleteByID function for removing student records by ID.
4. Input Validation: Add validations to user inputs for menu options and other entries to prevent invalid data entry.
5. File Structure Consistency: Adopt a standard format for storing records in record.txt (e.g., comma-separated or tab-separated values).
6. Code Refactoring: Break down large functions, add comments, and document the purpose of each function.
