I made a txt file which contains a necessary information into my project file and tried to read and print it. However, seems like my program is not reading my file at all. Could anyone help me with this problem?

PS. I named my file as student

Your code does not even compile, because you don't declare many of the variables you're reading. I can also tell that, even if they were declared, you're not handling firstname and lastname right; you're scanning and printing them as chars, and I think you want them to be strings of chars instead. Please fix these errors then re-post your code, as well as the contents of your "student" file so that we can see what you're trying to read in.
