CS/IT Project: Wisdom College Hostel Management System Implementation

This document details a C programming project for a hostel management system designed for Wisdom College. The system encompasses several key functionalities, including adding student records, checking room availability based on gender, calculating total payments based on room type and duration of stay, and displaying student details. The code includes functions for adding new student entries to a database, checking room availability in different blocks, calculating the total payment, and displaying student information. The payment section provides different options and allows the user to abort the payment process. The project is designed to manage student accommodation, room allocation, and associated financial transactions within the hostel environment. The provided source code snippets demonstrate the implementation of these features, offering a practical example of how to develop a functional hostel management system using C programming. The project also includes previews of the different functionalities and the source codes of the different functions implemented.

Add student entry
This function is used to add student records to the data file or .dat file that is used in the program.
There are structures made to take input from the user for the date and one for the student details.
The name of the function is new_entry(), the variables that are used is an integer variable named
as choice. FILE defines the two file pointers as *ptr and *hostel.
Source Code to Add student entry:
int new_entry()

int choice;

Check availability of rooms according to gender
The name of this function is gender(), and this function is used to input the gender of the student
and displays the available room options for the student. The character variable ch is used to take
the input of the gender as M/m for male and F/f for female. After that the function moves into the
switch case according to the option chosen.
