Introduction of Employee record management system
This is a very simple Employee Record Management System Project in C. In this project, you can manage easily employee records – add, list, modify and delete records of employees. overall this project will help you learn File handling in c and how to add, view, change and remove databases.
Here, you can Add and list the employee’s records but cannot search them. If you have more experience with C language you modify this project and write your own code to implement the search function in the records.
This project is a console-based application without graphics this project is compiled in Code::Blocks using GCC compiler. The source code for this project is easy to understand and short, and simple. we have used comments in the code to easy to understand
If you want to run the Employee Record management system on other compiler platforms you may require modifications to the code, and the current code will show errors. if you are interested in a similar project check out this Department Store Management System.
Features of Employee Record System:
One of the main features of this project includes basic file-handling operations; you can easily learn how to add, list, modify and delete data from the records. you can analyze how things such as functions, pointers, files, and arrays are implemented.
Currently, listed below are the features that make up this Employee record System project, but you can add new features as you like to make this project the best one
- Add Record
- List record
- Modify record
- Delete record
