Build Student Information Tracker

Introduction

In this challenge, a new school administrator needs to create a simple digital record system to capture and manage basic student information using fundamental C programming techniques learned in the lab. The program should be able to capture student details such as full name, age, grade level, and academic score, and display the information in a formatted output.

Build Student Information Tracker

As a new school administrator, you need to create a simple digital record system to capture and manage basic student information using fundamental C programming techniques learned in the lab.

Tasks

Open the C program named student_tracker.c in the ~/project directory
Implement input methods to collect student details
Display the collected student information with formatted output

Requirements

Use the file ~/project/student_tracker.c for your solution
Capture the following student details:
- Full name (string, max 50 characters)
- Age (integer)
- Grade level (integer)
- Academic score (float)
Use scanf() to input student information
Use printf() to display student information with proper formatting
Include necessary header files
Ensure the program compiles without warnings

Examples

gcc student_tracker.c -o student_tracker
./student_tracker

Example Input:

Enter student name: John Doe
Enter student age: 16
Enter grade level: 10
Enter academic score: 87.5

Example Output:

--- Student Information ---
Name: John Doe
Age: 16 years
Grade Level: 10
Academic Score: 87.50

Hints

Remember to use & when passing variables to scanf()
Use %[^\n] to read full names with spaces
Add a space before %c in scanf() to handle input buffer
Use format specifiers like %.2f for precise decimal display

Summary

In summary, the goal of this challenge is for the new school administrator to create a simple C program that can capture and manage basic student information, including full name, age, grade level, and academic score. The program should use fundamental C programming techniques to collect student details through input methods and display the information in a formatted output.
