hi
im very new in programming

and my university ask me to do an assignment base on C....this is my 1st project. so i didnt know very well about programming. If someone out there is willing to help me, i very appriciate it..
here is my situation:
- i have to create a search engine on database, and search engine will be access by 3 type of people;student,lecturer, and guest to look several detail for example student name, student id, student cgpa, etc.
- the search engine should able to do a "search-and-sort".also able to ascend and dscend (alphabetically or numerically).
- for security purpose, not all user can do "search-and-sort" database, to make all of us clear, here some example:
>guest can only see the course that offer in this uiversity.
>student can only see his or her cgpa, marks, etc. using their username(studnet id) and password that university provided.
>as for lecturer, he or she can see all.
hopefully someone can give me any kind of help include rough idea because i'm very dumb in programming C..
