Folder Structure

Program design and flow

  • As soon as the program is launched, it reads the resource files to create course catalog, and registers all the dummy students

  • You as a student would enter your details to enter the system

  • Before registering a course (program menu option number 2), the pre-requisites of the course are checked. You must be registered for the pre-requisite courses to register for any course.

  • After registration, a warning is showed only if there are less than 8 students registered in the selected offering

  • All the course details, offering details, and occupancy details can be printed using program menu option number 4.

  • Refer to the screenshots to get an idea of the working of the program

Details of resource files

  • Data required for Course Catalog is stored in lib/course_catalog.txt. Format of data is:

    <course name>, <comma separated list of pre-requisite courses>

  • Data required for Course Offering is stored in lib/course_offerings.txt. Format of data is:

    <course name>, <offering section number>, <offering maximum capacity>

  • Dummy students and their registration informations is stored in lib/dummy_students.txt. Format of data is:

    <student name>, <student ID number>, <comma separated list of registered offering in the format <courseName-courseNumber-offeringSection>>
