Student Management System

This project is a simple console-based Student Management System built using TypeScript and Inquirer.js. The system allows users to manage student data by performing various operations such as adding new students, generating unique student IDs, enrolling students in courses, viewing balances, paying tuition fees, showing student status, updating student details, and deleting students.

Features

Enroll Student in Course: Enrolls a student in a course by specifying the course name. Each course costs $600, which is added to the student's tuition balance.

View Balance: Displays the tuition balance of a selected student.

Pay Tuition: Allows the user to pay a specified amount towards a student's tuition balance.

Show Status: Displays all details of a selected student, including their name, student ID, enrolled courses, and tuition balance.

Update Student: Enables the user to update a student's name and enrolled courses.

Delete Student: Removes a student's record from the system.

Technologies Used

TypeScript: A strongly typed programming language that builds on JavaScript, giving you better tooling at any scale.

Inquirer.js: A collection of common interactive command-line user interfaces.
