Student Management System

Build a console-based Student Management System using Python lists and dictionaries. The program should let users add students, view all students, search for a student by name, update a student's grade, and remove a student from the system.

Requirements

1. Store students as dictionaries with keys: name, age, grade.
2. Keep all students in a list.
3. Implement a menu-driven loop with options: Add, View All, Search, Update Grade, Remove, Exit.
4. Searching should be case-insensitive.
5. Display a friendly message if a student is not found.
6. Print a numbered list when viewing all students.

students = []

def add_student(name, age, grade):
    students.append({"name": name, "age": age, "grade": grade})
    print(f"Added student: {name}")

def view_students():
    if not students:
        print("No students found.")
        return
    for i, s in enumerate(students, start=1):
        print(f"{i}. {s['name']} | Age: {s['age']} | Grade: {s['grade']}")

def search_student(name):
    for s in students:
        if s["name"].lower() == name.lower():
            return s
    return None

def update_grade(name, new_grade):
    student = search_student(name)
    if student:
        student["grade"] = new_grade
        print(f"Updated {name}'s grade to {new_grade}")
    else:
        print(f"Student '{name}' not found.")

def remove_student(name):
    student = search_student(name)
    if student:
        students.remove(student)
        print(f"Removed student: {name}")
    else:
        print(f"Student '{name}' not found.")

def main():
    while True:
        print("\n--- Student Management System ---")
        print("1. Add Student")
        print("2. View All Students")
        print("3. Search Student")
        print("4. Update Grade")
        print("5. Remove Student")
        print("6. Exit")
        choice = input("Choose an option: ")

        if choice == "1":
            name = input("Name: ")
            age = int(input("Age: "))
            grade = input("Grade: ")
            add_student(name, age, grade)
        elif choice == "2":
            view_students()
        elif choice == "3":
            name = input("Enter name to search: ")
            result = search_student(name)
            print(result if result else "Student not found.")
        elif choice == "4":
            name = input("Name: ")
            new_grade = input("New grade: ")
            update_grade(name, new_grade)
        elif choice == "5":
            name = input("Name: ")
            remove_student(name)
        elif choice == "6":
            print("Goodbye!")
            break
        else:
            print("Invalid option, try again.")

Your Code

students = []

def add_student(name, age, grade):
    # TODO: append a new student dict to students
    pass

def view_students():
    # TODO: print all students with index numbers
    pass

def search_student(name):
    # TODO: find and return a student by name (case-insensitive)
    pass

def update_grade(name, new_grade):
    # TODO: find the student and update their grade
    pass

def remove_student(name):
    # TODO: remove the student from the list
    pass

# Example usage
add_student("Alice", 20, "A")
add_student("Bob", 22, "B")
view_students()
