Features include CSV data import/export, menu-driven interaction, insertion sort by student ID, and automated grade reporting.

Implements a student record management system where users can add, remove, display, sort, and analyze coursework and research student data stored in an ArrayList.

The program supports file handling for .txt and .csv datasets, with systematic testing for validation.

This system manages student records for both coursework and research enrolments. Data is read from .txt and .csv files, stored in an ArrayList, and manipulated using menu-driven options.

It demonstrates Object-Oriented Programming concepts including inheritance, polymorphism, and dynamic binding, as well as manual implementation of the insertion sort algorithm.

• Language: Java (JDK SE, NetBeans 19)
• Paradigm: Object-Oriented Programming
• Concepts: Inheritance, Polymorphism, Dynamic Binding
• Data Structure: ArrayList of Student objects
• File Handling: .txt and .csv import/export

• Client.java
• Student.java
• StudentCourse.java
• StudentResearch.java
• Unit.java
• UnitCourse.java
• Research.java
• studentRecords.txt (initial dataset)
• additionalStudentRecords.csv (for new student records)

• Inheritance

  • StudentCourse & StudentResearch extend Student
  • UnitCourse & Research extend Unit

• Polymorphism

  • Overriding reportGrade() in subclasses

• Dynamic Binding

  • reportGrade() called on Student reference executes subclass method

• Sorting

  • Insertion sort implemented manually (ascending by student ID)

• CSV Handling

  • getStudentData() reads .txt/.csv into ArrayList
  • printSortedStudents() writes sorted list into .csv

• Student (base class) → StudentCourse, StudentResearch
• Unit (base class) → UnitCourse, Research
• Client → menu-driven program
