MTS 3023 : DATA STRUCTURE

SEMESTER 1 SESI 2018/2019

GROUP PROJECT

Develop a simple MIS (Management Information System) that consists of a simple database (a
text file). The system manages to dynamically input record/data into the database. The data from
the database can be sorted, searched and updated. User also should be able to add new
records/data, remove any data and etc.

Here are some ideas of MIS that can be developed:

1. Hotel reservation system.

2. Students management system.
3. Payroll management system.
4. Bus/Railway/Plane ticketing system.
5. Clinic record management system.

What should you do?

1. Plan your group project - What MIS that you wanted to develop? Who is the user? What
is the flow of the system?
2. Use only notepad (a text file) as your simple database.
3. The system that will be developed must use a linked list structure.
4. Use any sorting techniques to sort your data.
5. Use any searching techniques to search for a data.
6. Develop a user friendly and efficient system.
7. The development of the system must use C++ and text file only for the database.
8. All programs must be documented in a simple report.

Guildline:

1. When updating the existing data, you should prompt a user to enter the student’s ID.
Once the ID is ready, you have to find the ID from your file/database. Retrieve data of
the student’s database. Then you can update the data such as the new address and phone
number. Of course you cannot edit student’s ID, name and DOB.
2. When searching for a student, you should display the result. For example, if the data is
found, the details of the student should be displayed.
 3. Add function should able the new student record being added into the existing database.
For example, before this you have 4 students in your database, after adding a record, your
file should have 5 data.
4. To view data of your students record, the result should be sorted, just like the example
given.
