Hostel Management System

This project is a Hostel Management System implemented in Java using Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts. The system allows you to manage hostelites (students), employees, and expenditures related to the hostel. It provides a menu-driven interface for various management operations.

Features

1. Login: The system provides a login mechanism with a default username and password ("admin").

2. Main Menu: After logging in, the main menu is displayed with the following options:

   • Hostelites Management: Manage student-related operations.
   • Employees Management: Manage employee-related operations.
   • Expenditure: Manage hostel expenditure operations.
   • Back to Login: Return to the login screen.
   • Exit: Exit the system.

3. Hostelites Management:

   • Add a new student.
   • Remove a student.
   • Update student details.
   • Search for a student.
   • Display all students.
   • Return to the main menu.

4. Employees Management:

   • Add a new employee.
   • Remove an employee.
   • Update employee details.
   • Display all employees.
   • Return to the main menu.

5. Expenditure Management:

   • Add an expense.
   • Display all expenses.
   • Return to the main menu.

How to Use

1. Login: Upon running the program, you'll be prompted to enter the username and password. The default credentials are "admin" for both.

2. Main Menu: After successful login, you'll be presented with the main menu options. Choose an option by entering the corresponding number.

3. Submenus: Depending on the option you choose, you'll be presented with submenus for hostelites, employees, or expenditure management. Follow the prompts and enter the appropriate choices.

4. Navigation: You can navigate back to previous menus using the "Back" option.

5. Exit: To exit the system, select the "Exit" option from the main menu.
