Posted By: Adelyte Miller     Category: C Programming     Views: 8936

Write a program using structures/file to print name and age of the oldest and the youngest student in the class. The input records contain the name and the age of the students. Assume the sentinel value of 99 for the age field of the trailer record.

Code for Program using structures/file to print name and age of the oldest and the youngest student in the class in C Programming
