Student Attendance Management System

A robust and efficient C++ console-based application designed to streamline the attendance tracking process for educational institutions. This project simplifies administrative tasks for teachers and provides students with a transparent view of their attendance records.

🚀 Overview

First developed in 2022 and maintained through 2026, this system provides a secure and organized way to manage student data, track daily attendance, and handle leave applications. It utilizes file-based storage to ensure data persistence across sessions.

• markMyAttendance(): Logic for incrementing and recording daily attendance.
• countMyAttendance(): Calculates and displays attendance statistics.
• sendLeaveApplication(): Handles formatting and storage of student leave requests.
• title() / date(): UI helper functions for consistent branding and timestamping.
