Currently, many features make use of the STUDENT_ID generated by the system as a parameter. Given that this STUDENT_ID is not an original property of the student, users will have to get the STUDENT_ID before being able to use those features.
The recommended way to get the STUDENT_ID is to use the find command:
find takes in the name of the student to be found.
However, given that names are not unique, it will give repeated results.
As such, for a user that just wants to find a student given the name or NRIC, he would have to first use find, and match the NRIC manually to a potentially long list of students with the same name, then note down the STUDENT_ID of that student, and only then be able to use the other commands.
