Attendance Tracker in Python

This is a small command-line program that helps in recording and viewing the attendance of students. It will be able to mark each student as present or absent, view the full list, and give a short summary displaying totals and a percentage.

How it works

The program runs in a simple menu format. You can:

• Add attendance for any number of students
• View all the records you added
• Get a summary showing present count, absent count, and overall attendance percentage

The data is stored in a dictionary during the course of program execution.

How to run

• Install Python on your system.
• Save the script in a file
• Open your terminal or command prompt.
• Run it using:

python attendance.py
