Answer to Question #3294 in C++ for sya

Question

Create a structure named Student. Include data fields to hold Student’s ID number, first name, last name and IC number. Create an array of five Student variables. Prompt the user to enter data for each Student. Do not allow duplicate ID numbers to be entered. Then prompt the user to choose whether to search for the Student by [1] ID number, [2] first name, or [3] IC number. After the user chooses the field on which to search, prompt the user for the search value. Display an error message if there is no Student with matching criteria; otherwise display all the data for every matching Student.
