You are tasked with conducting a comparison study for at least 2 data structures/algorithms through the creation of a Java console application using modern tools/software.

The project must meet the following criteria:

1. Incorporate a local database (.txt) capable of managing a sizable collection of data.

2. Develop two (2) versions of the application, each utilizing a distinct data structure/algorithm.

3. Construct the data structure/algorithm from scratch.

4. Provide a comprehensive comparison, discussion, and analysis in the final report.

Step 1: Select your application and topic.

Step 2: Draft a preliminary proposal encompassing:

• Introduction and background
• Objectives
• Scope
• Proposed Design and Flow

Step 3: Develop the application, compile the code, and document the results, discussions, and algorithm analyses in a report format.

Example: Let`s consider creating a student record system.

Create a console application linked to a local database to perform the following functions:

• Add new records
• Delete records
• Read all records from the database
• Search records by StudentID
• Sort data by TotalScore
• Exit the application

Generate a second version of the application employing a similar approach but with a DIFFERENT data structure/algorithm. Evaluate the code, record the outcomes, and determine the most suitable data structure/algorithm for your specific application.

Step 4: Presentation: All group members must demonstrate/present the system.
