A simple Student Record Keeping System built using Java Swing and Java File handling classes

Student Record Keeping App

This application is designed to keep track of students' records in a simple and efficient way. It allows users to add new records, search for a specific record, delete a record, delete all records, sort records, and display all records. The records are stored in a text file called database.txt.

The application consists of two classes: Student and App. The Student class defines the necessary data of every student that is to be stored in the system, which are name, studentID, courseID, and totalScore. The App class handles the GUI of the application and all the functionalities such as adding, searching, deleting and sorting the records.
