I'm currently try to write a program as below :
A college would like to automate managing courses offered to students. initially only three courses are involved. each courses has a code, a name, students enrolled, a current number of student, a maximum number of students allowed (quota) which is 10. a user should be able to add\drop a student to\from the course. a student can only be added to a course if the student is not yet enrolled in the course and the current number of students is not exceeding the maximum number allowed. a student can be dropped from a course only if she\he is enrolled in the course .

To test your program , you need to read an input file that contains ;
- *begin to indicate a course followed by the course code and name
- an integer to indicate the number of students enrolled so far in the course
- a list of matric numbers to represent students enrolled in the course,one matric number per line
- *end to indicate the end of data

Below is an example input data :
*begin SSK3100 Programming I
3 //number of current students enrolled in the course
19810
19910
20875
*begin SSK3101 Programming II
2
18910
19005
*begin SSK3107 Data Structures
4
18877
18777
18776
18976
*end

A kind-hearted person has help me with my code,but the problem is I still can't get the output to add and drop student..Any help would be greatly appreciated .

post the code here, I'm not going to log in in another platform to view it.
also be more clear in what exactly the problem is, that isn't really clear from your post.

Sorry,here are the code:

My problem is how can I display an output to offer a menu which contains choices to add student or to drop student from course? Could you pls guide me to do it.

Print a list of the courses to System.out. Create a Scanner for System.in. Go into a loop where you print a prompt and wait for the user to enter a command so you can read it with your Scanner, then obey the command, then do it all again repeatedly until the user enters a stop command.

The Scanner will automatically wait for the user to type something when you call nextLine. If the user types list then display the list of courses again. If the user types the number of a course, then set that course as the current course and display that course's information, including the students. If the user types drop 18910 then drop that student from the current course. If the user types add 22222 then add that student to the current course. Print error messages as necessary. If the user types something that makes no sense, print a list of all the available commands.

Sorry to ask but is it correct if I put below coding into my program?If yes where should it be,in the main class or in the Course class?I'm really new to this thing.tq

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
int menu = 0;
System.out.println("College System Main Menu");
System.out.println();
System.out.println("1. Add a student");
System.out.println("2. Remove a student");
System.out.println("3. Display student list");

System.out.print("Please enter your choice: ");
menu = scan.nextInt();
System.out.println();

switch(menu) {
case 1:
System.out.print("Enter student's matric number: ");
int ID = scan.nextInt();
String name= scan.next();
list.add(new Student(ID));
for (Student s : list){
System.out.println(s.getstudentNo);
}
case 2:
System.out.print("Enter Student id to remove the student from list: ");
int id = scan.nextInt();
int i=id-1;
list.remove(i);
case 3:
System.out.println("Matric number");
for (Student s : list){
System.out.println(s.getstudentNo());
}
}

Write a program to find the result of N students by accepting 5-subject marks from a Mark class and calculate the total and average mark. Display the result of all students in ascending order of rank from Result class (which is a subclass of Mark class). The result should consist of following information:

Rank
Roll Number
Name
Age
marks of the individual subject
Total and average mark.

please help me write the above program.
