First C++ programming milestone

This is a simple programming exercise to test your understanding of inheritance, classes etc. You are to write a program which implements a simple database for student records. Students all have a name, a date of birth and a year of study. First and second year students each study three different courses. Each of these has a home department and a date for the examination. There will be a coursework and an examination mark which are initially unknown and will later be set. A typical first or second year record is as follows: John Smith Year 1 28th August 1974 Maths1, Mathematics, 1st June 1998, Unknown, Unknown CS1, Computer Science, 3rd June 1998, 67, Unknown AI1, Artificial Intelligence, 28th May 1998, 63, 65 Third and Fourth year students study eight modules. Each has a coursework mark and an exam mark. They also do a project, with a title and a mark. Any mark may be a percentage or unknown. Zero is a valid mark. A typical third or fourth year record is as follows: Jean Daly Year 4 18th June 1972 Compilers, 34, 56 etc. for eight modules Building a student database, Unknown You should write and test a program which can read in a file of these records and print them out. You should test that your program can read a file which it has earlier input. You should use a class Student and two sub-classes of that to hold the records as you read them. You may want to make Student into a sub-class of a list item class, as shown in the notes.
