Köker Student Automation 1.0 (C++)

This project was a file-based student automation written in C++. It combined student records with courses, grades, contribution-fee operations, transcripts, reporting and user roles in one console application.

Student and Course Data

Creating, editing, deleting, listing and searching students formed the basic record-management layer. Course and grade operations introduced relationships between a student and academic records that changed over time.

Transcript generation made that relationship visible: the output was derived from student, course and grade data rather than being a simple dump of one record.

File Processing

Because persistence was implemented with files, record format and update strategy were direct application concerns. Search and reporting repeatedly consumed the same stored data, making the physical representation relevant to both performance and maintainability.

This was an early practical example of a principle I later encountered in databases at much larger scale: persistent representation is part of the algorithmic and operational design.

User Roles

Administrator and student menus, sign-in/sign-out behavior and password-controlled access represented different operations for different user roles over the same data. The authentication mechanism belonged to the scale of an early student project, while role separation was part of the application workflow.

I later revisited the same domain in the Java version of the student automation, which made it possible to compare the problem independently of the original language.
