Problem Statement

Write a c program that defines a structure Student with the following members: roll (int), name (string), and marks (float). Do the below: Create an array to store details for 3 students. Read the details for these 3 student from a file named students.txt. (Assume the file contains data in the format: Roll Name Marks). Implement a recursive function float calculateTotal(struct Student arr[], int n) to calculate the sum of marks of all students in the array. Display each student's details and the total marks calculated by the recursive function.
