Managing Student Information! C LANGUAGE
We're going to build a student information management system.
The user should be shown a menu with four options: display student initials, display student GPAs, add students, or exit the program. If the user chooses to exit, the program should end. Otherwise, if the user chooses to display the student initials, the contents of the students.txt file should be read, and just the student number and initials should be displayed to the user in a tabular format. If the user chooses to display the student GPAs, the contents of the students.txt file should be read, and just the student number and GPAs should be displayed to the user in a tabular format. If the user chooses to add students, they should be prompted for the number of studnets they’d like to add. They should then be prompted that many times for a studnet number, a GPA, a first initial, and a last initial. Each of the new items should be saved to the students.txt file.…

C Sharp Random Number File writer
Create an application that writes a series of random numbers to a file. Each random number should be in the range of 1 through 100. The application should let the user specify how many randome numbers the file will hold and should use a SaveFileDialog control to let the user specify the file's name and Location.

Each random number should be in the range of 1 through 100. The application should let the user specify how many randome numbers the file will hold and should use a SaveFileDialog control to let the user specify the file's name and Location. Create another application that uses an OpenFileDialog control to let the user select the file that was created above. This application should read the numbers from the file, display the numbers in a ListBox control and display: the total of the numbers and the number of random numbers read from the file.arrow_forwardA ______ value is a special value that is used to terminate a loop when a set of data is being entered.

Problem description The rocket is traveling through space. Each asteroid has (x, y, z) position in space, where x, y, and z are the distances in kilometers from the rocket which is at 0,0,0. It will read a file asteroids.txt that represents the ID and location of each asteroid. The distance between the rocket and each asteroid is calculated based on the asteroid’s X, Y, Z position using the following formula. √(x2+y2+z2) This program must be secure. The user puts their name and password, if both match the list you have in a text file on the disk (ID.txt), then the user gets access to the program. The program should allow 3 tries for name and password entry, if unsuccessful after 3 tries the program should print a message and terminate.
