Otherwise, if the user chooses to display the student initials, the contents of the students.txt file should be read, and just the student number and initials should be displayed to the user in a tabular format. If the user chooses to display the student GPAs, the contents of the students.txt file should be read, and just the student number and GPAs should be displayed to the user in a tabular format. If the user chooses to add students, they should be prompted for the number of studnets they’d like to add.
