ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In the accomplishment of this micro-project successfully, many people
have best owned upon me their blessings and heart-privileged support.
Primarily, I would like to express a special thanks of gratitude to the Principal

Sir of the Government Polytechnic, Solapur for giving this golden opportunity
with all the required facilities for completing this micro-project of our group.

I would like to extend my gratitude to our OOP subject teacher, Prof. A.

P. Sathe sir, whose valuable guidance has been the ones that helped us patch
this project and make it full proof success. Their suggestions and instructions
has served as the major contributor towards the completion of the micro-project.

I would also like to thank my parents who have helped with their valuable
suggestions and provided the required resources needed for the micro-project.

ABSTRACT
As a student enrolled in the Government Polytechnic, Solapur, every
semester we require to do a micro-project on any one topic in the syllabus of the
respective subjects. Hence, I have done a micro-project to develop a Student
Attendance Management System using C++.

This micro-project mainly highlights the object oriented programming of

C++. It includes concepts like classes, objects, functions and most importantly,
file handling. The project mainly focuses on file handling in C++ and it
performs functions like creating an attendance sheet and adding each day’s
attendance to the file.

The micro-project is made in such a way that it is a user-friendly and is

easy to navigate between all the functions of this system. Hoping that the
readers would feel it productive and knowledgeable. Any suggestions for the
improvement of this Management System are sincerely appreciated.

INTRODUCTION
As said earlier, this micro-project mainly shows the implementation of
file handling in C++. It includes functions like create_sheet() which is used for
creating new attendance sheet which includes roll numbers and names of all the
students of the particular class. This data is copied into a new attendance sheet.
Next function of the system is add_attendance() which is used to add the
attendance of particular date in the file. The user has to input a file which
contains the present roll numbers of that particular day. With the help of that
present roll numbers file, the attendance sheet gets updated by placing a ‘P’ for
present or ‘A’ for absent in front of the respective students. The user also has to
choice to input present roll numbers file or absent roll numbers file and
depending upon the user’s input, the attendance gets marked in the sheet.
This is how the student attendance system works. The input and output of
the program can be seen on the content that gets updated in the files. For this
attendance system, all the files are of .csv extension as these type of files are
very suitable for storing the attendance of the students.

REVIEW OF CONCEPTS
A short review of the important concepts of C++ used in this micro-
project is here.

1. OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING –
Object-oriented programming aims to implement real-world entities like
inheritance, hiding, polymorphism, etc. in programming. The main aim of OOP
is to bind together the data and the functions that operate on them so that no
other part of the code can access this data except that function. Classes and
objects are the basic building blocks of OOP.

2. FILE HANDLING -
In C++, files are mainly dealt by using three classes fstream, ifstream,
ofstream available in fstream headerfile.
ofstream: Stream class to write on files
ifstream: Stream class to read from files
fstream: Stream class to both read and write from/to files.
We can open and close files using open() and close() functions or
constructors present in fstream classes.
Default open modes:
ifstream – ios::in
ofstream – ios::out
fstream – ios::in | ios::out

 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT -
The main significance of this micro-project is to develop C++ programs using
file handling. This project clearly shows how file handling is implemented in
C++ and particularly its shows how to read and write .csv files.

 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT -

Many concepts of C++ are involved in this project like classes, objects,
functions and file handling. But, this system mainly focuses on file handling
concept of C++. It would be a very good example of how files can be read and
written in C++.

 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS -
Laptop or PC or Mobile with Basic Configurations.

 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS -
1. Operating System (Windows family)
2. IDE for C++ language (Turbo C++, Visual Studio Code, Dev C++, etc.)
3. Text Editor

CONCLUSION

17
The main course outcome behind this micro-project was to implement file
handling concept in C++. Hence, after completing this micro-project, we think
that this course outcome is successfully achieved.

This micro-project would really help the users to maintain a proper

attendance sheet for their class. The users who were following the traditional
method of putting ‘P’ for present students and ‘A’ for absent students for every
class but by this program they will just input the present students list and the
sheet automatically gets updated. Hence, this program will be very beneficial
for the users.

Also, considering my point of view, this micro-project helped me to

increase my knowledge about implementation of file handling in C++. It also
helped me to analyze real world problems and produce a solution to it with the
help of my knowledge and skills. Hoping that the readers would use this
program to maintain their attendance sheet in a simple and easy way.
