//DESCRIPTION ABOUT HOW DISTRIBUTION METHOD WORKS!
//Distribution method. This method allows to distribute all new students (that have GroupNumber = 0) to a specific group.
//First, it checks for students that can de distributed (GroupNumb = 0) and if so, puts them to an individual list.
//Second, it checks for Students Count in the list. If count is 0 -> a massage will occure about all students have been distributed already and method STOPS.
//Third, it asks to select a specific student from the list by his Number. If 0 is selected -> method STOPS (per request).
//Fourth, it asks about group number this student has to be assigned to.
//Fifth, it checks for availability of a selected group with a help of Overload function.
//If group is full already, it will ask to select another group.
//Sixth, with a help of DistMessage user get info about his actions; this student gets put into a dedicated group array _groupNum;
//this student gets removed from temp list "allStudents" -> this will help to check for duplicates of the same person;
//GroupNumber in StudentList of this specific student gets updated so he will no longer contribute in distribution function in further runs.
