This document contains the source code for a student record management system created in C language. The system allows users to create a new record file, add student records, list all records, and exit the program. The source code includes functions for the main menu, record input/output, and basic formatting/navigation. It uses structures to store student data and file handling functions to read from and write to a text file for permanent storage of records.

4. OVERVIEW TO C
hIsTORy Of C:
C is a popular general purpose programming language. It is one
of the most popular computer languages today, because it is a
structured, high level, machine independent language.
The root of all modern language is ALGOL, introduced in early
1960’s. ALGOL was the 1st computer language to use a block
structure. Subsequently, several other languages were announced after
1960’s. In 1967, Martin Richard developed a language called BCPL
i.e. basic combined programming language mainly for writing system
software. In 1970, Ken Thompson created a language using many
features of BCPL and called it simply B. B was used to create early
version of UNIX operating system.
C was evolved from ALGOL, BCPL, and B by Dennis Ritchie at the
Bell Laboratories in 1972, strongly associated with UNIX. During
1970’s, C had evolved into the “TRADITIONAL C”. With the
publication of the book ‘The C Programming language’ by Brian
Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie in 1978, it becomes more powerful.
In 1983, American National Standards Institutes (ANSI) appointed a
technical committee to define a standard for C. The committee
approved a version of C in December 1989, which is now known as
ANSI C. It was then approved by International Standard Organization
(ISO) in 1990.

5. IMPORTANCE Of C:
The increasing popularity of C is probably due to its many
desirable qualities. The C compiler combines the capabilities of an
assembly language with the features of a high level language and
therefore it is well suited for writing both system software and
business packages. In fact many of the C compilers available in the
market are written in C. Programs written in C are efficient and fast.
This is due to its variety of data types and powerful operators. It is
many times faster than BASIC.
There are only 32 key words in ANSI C and its strength lies in its
built in functions. C is highly portable; this means that C programs
written for one computer can be run on another with little or no
modifications. C language is well suited for structured programming,
thus requiring the user to think of a problem in terms of function
modules or blocks. This modular structure makes program de-bugging,
testing and maintenance easier. Another important feature of
C is its ability to extend itself. We can continuously add our own
functions to C library, thus our programming task becomes so easier
and simple.

6. INTRODUCTION:
We have discussed so far various features of C language and are
ready to write and execute program of modest complexity. However,
before attempting to develop complex programs, it is worthwhile to
consider some programming techniques that would help design
efficient and error free.
The program development process includes three important stages,
namely, program design, program coding and program testing. All the
three stages contribute to the production of high quality program.
In “STUDENT RECORD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM” we have
done system design, source coding, and program testing and added
many more features to facilitate the user with the best. We have given
the user the facility to enter the Student’s record and see whether the
user is provided with the complete information.
We can improve the efficiency of the system, thus overcome the
drawbacks of the existing system.
· Less human error
· Strength and strain of registers and papers can be reduced
· High security
· Data consistency
· Easy to handle
· Easy data updating
· Easy record keeping
· Backup data can be easily generated

7. IntroductIon of program
management system
We can make this Student record management system in C language by using
three or more than three header files or many data types such as:
1. #include<stdio.h> : this header file will contain Scanf() , Printf () And,
there are many header files which are used in this program….
2. #include<conio.h>: this header file will contain Clrscr(); , Getch(); , and
many more….
3 . #include<string.h> : this header file will contain string
function.
4 . #include<ctype .h>

20. TESTING
THE SOURCECODE DECLARED ABOVE FOR THE PROGRAM
OF STUDENT RECOD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM HAS BEEN

21. TESTED AND IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT THE ABOVE
SOURCE CODE IS OKAY AND CORRECT.THE PROGRAM
INVOLVES MUCH TYPE OF CONVERSIONS. THESE
CONVERSIONS HAS TO DONE CAREFULLY.
MAINLY THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF TESTING:
1-SYSTEM TESTING AND
2-INTEGRATION TESTING
SYSTEM TESTING INVOLVES WHOLE TESTING OF
PROGRAM AT ONCE AND INTEGRATION TESTING
INVOLVES THE BREAKING OF PROGRAM INTO MODULES &
THEN TEST.
FUTURE SCOPE
In future one change can be done by adding the fingerprints of the
student of which the record is entered. And one more major change

22. which can be done in this project is that to add the snaps of the
student of which the record is entered. We can also add or subtract
details of the individual.
